8 Signs You Need Foundation Leveling

Seeing any of these at your house? Have it measured while it is still small. The number of piers a house needs grows as it keeps moving, and pier count is what you pay for.

Common Questions

Foundation Repair FAQs

What does Best Way actually specialize in?

Foundation leveling. James Wilson is a concrete contractor by trade, so putting settled houses back on concrete and steel piers is the job he does more than any other. Slab repair, pier and beam work and drainage sit around that core service. Usually they happen as part of the same job.

Is foundation leveling the same thing as house leveling?

Yes, they are two names for the same work. You lift a settled structure back to a level plane, and then you re-support it so it holds. Some people call it foundation leveling, some say house leveling or foundation lifting, and slab owners often call it foundation repair. We do all of it, because the method changes with the foundation type rather than the name.

Why does it matter that you are a concrete contractor?

Because the concrete is what holds the lift. Piers carry your house once it is back at elevation. A pier poured or driven badly is why a lift does not last. Working in concrete every day is the difference between a house that stays level and one you pay to lift twice.

Is the foundation inspection really free?

Yes, everywhere we work, with no obligation and no travel charge. You get elevation readings and a written recommendation whether or not you hire us.

How do I know if my house needs foundation leveling?

Watch for anything that is changing. A crack that widened over a season. A door that used to latch and now does not. A floor slope you can feel. Hairline cracks in sheetrock are usually not urgent. But if something is moving, have it measured.

What does foundation leveling cost in East Texas?

Foundation leveling is priced by how many piers your house needs and how deep they go. Not by square footage. Two houses on the same street can differ by five times, so nobody honest quotes over the phone. We measure first, then put the price in writing.

Why do foundations move so much in this part of Texas?

Expansive clay. It swells when it takes on water, then shrinks as it dries, and the house on top moves with it. A wet spring followed by a dry late summer is the cycle that puts most East Texas homes out of level.

Do you level both slab and pier and beam foundations?

Both. On a slab, foundation leveling means press or concrete piers and a slow, controlled lift. On pier and beam it means supports, sills, beams and joists, plus crawlspace moisture. Much of the older housing here is pier and beam, and we work on it every week.

How long does the work take and do we have to move out?

Most jobs run one to three working days. Almost nobody needs to move out, because most of the work happens outside the house or in the crawlspace under it. If your job is an exception, we tell you before you sign.

Who will actually be at my house?

Our own crew, with owner James Wilson on site. There is no sales team, and nobody here earns a commission on the size of your repair. That is why we can tell you when your house does not need work.

Do you fix the drainage as well as the foundation?

Yes, and on most East Texas jobs it is part of the repair rather than an add-on. Piers stop the house following the soil down, but drainage stops the soil making the trip in the first place. So skipping it shortens the life of the foundation leveling you just paid for.

Is the work warranted?

Yes. Our foundation leveling carries a long-term warranty. The scope and terms go into the agreement before anyone starts, so nothing rests on a verbal promise.

How far do you travel for foundation leveling?

Across Deep East Texas from our Longview base. That is Gregg, Harrison, Smith, Rusk, Upshur, Panola, Cherokee, Nacogdoches and Angelina counties. There is no travel charge for the inspection anywhere in that area.
