Foundation Repair in Frisco, TX

Foundation calls from Frisco are the same ones we get across Collin County: a stair-step crack in the brick, a door that quit latching in late summer, a floor that slopes toward one corner, or a buyer's inspector who flagged the slab. The inspector maps the whole house with a level survey before anyone talks about piers.

Frisco grew from a railroad town of a few thousand people to more than 200,000 in thirty years, so nearly every home is a slab built since the 1990s. The usual call is a builder-era slab settling at one corner after landscapers regraded the original drainage swale.

Live oaks, red oaks, cedar elms and hackberries are the big trees on Collin County lots, and a mature oak pulls a surprising amount of water out of the clay in a dry summer, so the corner of the slab nearest a large tree is usually the corner that drops first.

Permits in Frisco

Pier work needs a building permit in most Collin County cities, and some of them, McKinney and Plano among them, want sealed engineer drawings with the application. We pull the permit through your city as part of the job. Driveway and patio leveling and most yard drainage do not need one, and under-slab plumbing repairs go on the plumber's permit.
