From First Call to Final Walkthrough

How a Duratech Foundation Repair Works

We explain the inspection, proposed scope, schedule, and written terms before work begins. The steps and timing depend on what your home needs.

Free Inspection

A foundation specialist visits your home, records elevation measurements, and checks the visible signs of movement before discussing the findings.

Written Proposal

You receive a written estimate with a site diagram showing pier locations, repair methodology, materials, and a clear price. No verbal promises.

Scheduling

Once you approve the proposal, we discuss access, any required permits, and a schedule based on the repair scope.

Repair & Warranty

Our crew performs the proposed repair, then provides job documentation and explains the written warranty terms that apply to your work.

Step-by-Step Detail

Step 1 — The Free Inspection

You call or fill out our form to arrange a residential inspection. A foundation specialist walks the property and takes elevation measurements at multiple points across your foundation. They examine cracks, doors, windows, floors, and the surrounding soil and drainage. There is no charge and no obligation.

Step 2 — The Written Proposal

If your foundation needs work, you receive a written proposal with: a site diagram showing where each pier (or other repair) is proposed, the repair approach, materials being used, applicable warranty terms, and the total price. If your foundation does not need work yet, we tell you that and explain what to monitor.

Step 3 — Scheduling and Permits

Once you approve the proposal, we handle any required permits and schedule the work around you. We confirm the start date, walk you through what to expect (yard access, noise, time of day), and answer any final questions.

Step 4 — The Repair

Our crew sets up access points and completes the work described in the proposal, which may involve piers, beams, or shims. The equipment, achievable lift, site restoration, and time required depend on the structure and repair plan.

Step 5 — Final Walkthrough and Warranty

Before we leave, we walk you through the work, verify measurements, and answer any remaining questions. You receive documentation for the repair and its applicable written warranty terms.

Step 6 — Long-Term Adjustments (if ever needed)

Houston soil moves. If you notice movement after a repair, contact us. We will review your concern and explain any service available under your written warranty.

How long from first call to repair complete?

The timeline depends on the inspection findings, approved scope, materials, permits if required, and scheduling. We will discuss timing with your written proposal.
