Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair service addresses cracks, shifting, and structural instability using patented pressed piling technology. We install deep steel piers to stabilize foundations for both residential and commercial properties. This solution prevents further damage from soil movement, ensuring long-term structural integrity for Houston area buildings.
House Lifting
House lifting services vertically raise entire structures above flood elevation to prevent water damage. Our process includes structural reinforcement, hydraulic lifting, and foundation modification. This service protects properties in flood-prone areas while maintaining building integrity during and after elevation.
Polyurethane Injection
Polyurethane injection services stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs through high-density foam injections. This minimally invasive technique fills voids beneath foundations and slabs, restoring level surfaces for driveways, sidewalks, and interior floors without extensive excavation.
Under Slab Plumbing
Our under slab plumbing services address pipe leaks and replacements beneath concrete foundations. Using specialized tunneling techniques, we access and repair damaged pipes without slab demolition. This prevents foundation issues from water damage while maintaining structural stability during repairs.
Tunneling Services
Tunneling services create underground access for foundation and plumbing repairs. We hand-dig tunnels to reach critical structural areas without interior demolition. This preserves property integrity while enabling comprehensive repairs to deep foundation components and sub-slab systems.

Questions
How do I know if my home needs foundation repair?
Look for cracks in walls/floors, uneven doors/windows, or sloping floors. Our free inspection identifies issues using specialized measurement tools.

Is house lifting a permanent solution?
Yes, our patented system permanently elevates structures above flood risks while reinforcing structural integrity using deep foundation piers.
How long does foundation repair take?
Most residential repairs complete in 1-3 days. Commercial projects vary but typically finish within a week using our efficient methods.

We spent a huge amount of money to get our foundation fixed and were left with huge new cracks, uneven floors, holes in our floor, carpet cut outside the closet door, it wasn't even leveled under the carpet, and a 3 inch jacked up break in our driveway which Is a tripping hazard. (broke my elbow). They did a rush job to stay on schedule. We now need repairs to our walls , floors and driveway that will be as expensive as their foundation "repair". I would never recommend them to anyone.

I am an 84 year old retired teacher living alone on my retirement check. I live in Bay City, TX in an old house and the flooring started giving in. I hired Atlas to do the repairs under the house. That meant new beams and joists. I gave them 1/2 at the start of the project to pay them at the end if everything was done satisfactorily. The total cost was $19,488 for the job. We thought everything was going pretty good, in spite of the many days of rain when they couldn't get under the house. They finally "finished" up on July 26 and 27, but because they had put holes in some

Great Job! Professional Crew and Professional Repair. Installed screw pile & steal I-beams to raise and level my retirement cabin on a lake in Northern Minnesota. After the lake level came up and a hard winter caused footings heave and then sink.

Atlas installed 5 helical piers under our 4-season sunroom porch in Plymouth. They were very professional, responsive, on-time and organized the other contractors needed for the job. The pricing they quoted was exactly what we were charged - no surprises. We are very happy with the job they did and would highly recommend them.

Albers Design is an architectural and interior design firm. We construct most of your own projects. We specified helical pier foundations for an addition, screened porch and deck and recommended our client contract with Atlas to install the 8 footings. Total time on site was 5 1/2 hours. No damage to turf, sprinkler system or piles of dirt. Photos are 2 days after install.

Report
We had to have two helical piers installed for our elevated four season porch given our clay soil that couldn't support the concrete footings & were sinking. The helical piers were driven down nearly 40 ft to bedrock and the base was cut downtdown the size of our new posts after they were installed. Atlas was very responsive & professional and worked with us to get them installed quickly. We were a smaller job for them and didn't have prior experience with this kind of work, so we appreciated their patience & assistance walking us through what needed to be done. Hopefully, we won't need them again
