A referral service for Garland homeowners
About Garland Foundation Repair Co.
Plain facts about Garland foundations, and a local pro when you need one.
Garland Foundation Repair Co. is a referral service for homeowners in Garland and nearby cities. We send your call or request on to a local foundation repair pro who works near you. The inspection and any repair are theirs to do. We don't do that work ourselves.
Why This Site Exists
Foundation trouble is common in Garland, and the clay under the city is the reason. Our guide to Garland's soil shows how much the ground moves. Most people meet the problem the same way: a new crack, a door that starts to stick, and a lot of questions.
Most answers online are written for other parts of the country. Others come from companies selling a repair. This site sets out to answer what Garland homeowners really ask, using sources you can check for yourself. Start with the signs of foundation problems, or what goes into a foundation repair quote.
How a Referral Works
- It starts when you call (972) 284-1841 or send us a request.
- We match it with a local foundation repair professional, one who covers the part of the area you live in.
- That pro contacts you to set up a free inspection. Whatever you agree about a repair, you agree with them, not with us.
You won't pay us anything, and the inspection costs nothing. The pro may pay us for the requests we pass on. How that works is set out in our referral marketing disclosure. If we have no professional covering where you live, we'll say so instead of sending your request where nobody will answer it.
Where Our Role Stops
- We don't employ crews or own trucks or repair gear, and we never do repair work.
- We don't give engineering opinions. The pro, plus an engineer when your city asks for one, provides the inspection and the repair plan.
- This site doesn't rate or rank contractors or publish reviews of them.
- What our guides say isn't for sale to any contractor.
You can always get other bids, and on a foundation repair a second opinion is normal and wise.
How Our Guides Are Researched
Every guide is built from published sources, named on the page where each figure appears:
- The USDA soil survey, for the soils under each city
- US Census housing data, for when homes were built
- Each city's own permit pages, codes and fee schedules
- The Texas Department of Insurance, for how home policies treat foundations
- The guidelines Texas engineers use for house foundations
If something looks out of date, we'd like to hear about it.
Where We Work
Garland and the cities around it, from Plano and Richardson to Rockwall and Balch Springs. The service areas page lists every one, with what's different about the ground and the permit rules in each.
