Services
Concrete Pilings
Concrete pilings provide deep foundation support by transferring structural loads to stable soil layers. Our installation process uses high-pressure hydraulic rams to drive reinforced concrete cylinders below ground, creating stable support for slab and pier-and-beam foundations. This method offers immediate load-bearing capacity and proven durability for residential and light commercial buildings.
Soil Injection
Soil injection treats expansive clay soils using non-toxic chemical solutions that prevent water absorption. By injecting potassium ions and ammonium salts around foundations, we create moisture barriers that stop soil swelling and shrinking cycles. This technique effectively addresses foundation upheaval caused by soil moisture fluctuations while maintaining environmental safety.
Root Barriers
Our three-layer plastic root barriers prevent tree roots from destabilizing foundations by creating underground moisture control zones. Installed in deep trenches, these barriers stop roots from drying out soil beneath structures while also acting as waterproof membranes. This dual-function system protects foundations from both root intrusion and water-related movement.

I called to get a quote on a foundation repair for an old house, the owner called me and advised me on the home. He was very professional and did not try to take my money and pointed me towards the professional team that could help me best with my repair. I wouldnt hesitate to hire if I needed them in the future. Very professional. Thank you.

Jimmy Meeks and his company knocked it out of the Park for me and my clients!!! He answered his phone on a Saturday night and was able to save the transaction with his knowledge. As an agent, I have met several industry professions - but none hold a candle to this service, knowledge, honesty, and responsiveness. His company will be my only foundation company referral. Thank you so much!
