Foundation Repair in Port Lavaca, TX

"We are doing some renovations to our house and decided that in order to do them, we finally needed to address the obvious foundation repairs necessary to do them correctly.  I performed a Google search for foundation repair companies in the Houston area.  Foundation Support Specialist was able to schedule me for that very same day. Brian E. was the field inspector assigned to give our house an inspection and estimate for foundation repair.  We received notification about 20 minutes prior to his scheduled time by text messages and a phone call, stating that he was on his way. Brian arrived precisely at his scheduled time and was courteous and friendly.  After he introduced himself and told us about his company Groundworks (formerly Foundation Support Specialist), he went over a checklist with us to get some history of our home.  Afterwards he explained how he would be inspecting our house and what exactly he was looking for.  He got to work and was very thorough and professional during his inspection.  He measured and drew up a scale diagram of our house, then proceeded to use his Ziplevel to take altitude measurements of the floor throughout our house.  His measurements showed that our foundation had sunk almost 2" on the NW corner of our house. He showed us a slideshow on why foundations settle, common practices to repair, and how Groundworks repairs foundations.  When he was done, he gave us 3 levels of estimates.  A minimal necessary repair, A mid range estimate, and a high end estimate that included extra piers on the SE corner to help support the opposite side of the slab from the repairs.  He explained what each level included and answered any questions we had.  Brian spent about 2 hours with us and all in all it was a pleasant experience.  We have 2 more companies coming out in the next week to give us estimates, and unless they use a similar pier into bedrock system and drastically lower price, we will most likely choose Groundworks for our repairs."
