Foundation Repair in Kilgore, TX

Most residential jobs take a few days once we start. The exact timeline depends on how much of the perimeter needs support and whether interior work is involved — we give you that estimate up front, before you commit.

Absolutely. Older pier and beam homes are some of our most common work in Kilgore. We level the structure, replace rotted or cracked framing members, and set new supports where the originals have failed.

Yes. Our lifting and leveling work carries a long-term warranty. We will go over exactly what is covered when we present your repair plan.

It comes down to pier count and depth, which the elevation survey determines. Many Kilgore homes are old enough that the wood under a pier and beam house needs attention alongside the supports, and that affects the number too. The inspection and the written quote are free either way.

Almost always, yes. We rebuild failed piers, replace rotted sills and beams with treated material, and add supports where the original spans were too long. Age is rarely the problem on these houses — untreated wood sitting on dry-stacked block in a damp crawlspace is.

Usually. A chimney sits on its own footing, and when the soil under one moves differently from the soil under the rest of the house, the two separate. It is worth having measured, because a chimney leaning away from the structure is both a foundation symptom and a safety issue.

Yes, and we treat them carefully. Older Kilgore construction rewards a slow, incremental lift and punishes a fast one. We work in small increments across many points at once so original plaster, trim and masonry move with the house rather than against it.

It is worth ruling out, particularly on the older lines around Kilgore. A leaking supply or drain line saturates the soil in one spot and drops that part of the house. If our readings point that way, we will tell you to have the plumbing tested before you spend money on piers.

Yes, and on most Kilgore jobs it is part of the repair rather than an add-on. Correcting the grade and getting roof water away from the slab is what stops the soil moving again once we have the house back to elevation.

Yes. A good share of the inspections we run end with us telling the homeowner to keep an eye on it. We would rather give you that answer for free than sell you piers you do not need in a town where everybody knows everybody.
