Your Home’s Foundation Deserves Expert Care
Your home is more than just four walls and a roof – it’s where your family creates memories, finds comfort, and builds their future. When foundation problems threaten that sanctuary, the stress can feel overwhelming. Cracks appearing in walls, doors that won’t close properly, or floors that seem uneven aren’t just minor annoyances; they’re signs that your home’s most critical structural component needs professional attention.
At Dodson Foundation Repair, every foundation tells a story. Some homes have weathered decades of seasonal changes, while others are showing the effects of poor initial construction or unexpected soil shifts. Whatever your foundation’s story, our experienced team has the knowledge and tools to write a better ending.
Comprehensive Foundation Solutions for Every Home
Foundation problems rarely announce themselves with fanfare. Instead, they whisper through subtle signs that many homeowners initially dismiss. That slight crack near the basement stairs, the way the front door sticks during humid weather, or how the kitchen floor feels just a bit off-level – these seemingly minor issues often signal more significant underlying problems that require immediate attention.
Our residential foundation repair services address the full spectrum of foundation challenges. From minor settling adjustments to major structural reinforcement, every project receives the same meticulous attention to detail. The process begins with a thorough inspection where our specialists examine not just the visible symptoms, but also investigate the underlying causes that created the problem in the first place.
Pier & Beam and Slab Foundation Expertise
In our area, pier & beam and slab home foundations are most common. Pier & beam foundations are raised off the ground and feature crawl space below the home. Slab foundations are made of concrete poured directly on the ground. Dodson Foundation Repair is skilled in working with both pier & beam and slab foundations.
Possible Signs of Foundation Damage
Though not always the case, the following can be signs of foundation damage:
- doors that no longer close properly
- cracks in your bricks or stucco
- cracks in your drywall
- cracks above windows or doors
- wall corner separations
- uneven or unstable floors
- cracks in floor tiles
- several lifted trim nails
- chimney tilting

What to Expect With Foundation Repair
The scope of our work will depend on the foundation type and the extent and location of the damage. Advancements in foundation repair techniques have resulted in many cost-effective, often minimally invasive, solutions, which might include:
Concrete and Steel Pier Repair – Using poured-in-place concrete or steel piers, we stabilize the home’s foundation.
Poly Injection Stabilization – Polyurethane foam is applied to pre-formed grids to level and secure the home’s foundation.
Mudjacking – Applicable for smaller jobs, concrete is injected into an existing foundation to stabilize and level concrete surfaces, including patios, courtyards, and sidewalks.
There are exceptions, but generally, home foundation repair work will take fewer than three days. At Dodson, we understand that setting expectations up front is important. We’ll give you an expected timeline so you can plan accordingly. If you’ll need to be out of the home, you’ll know well in advance. And, we’ll work with you to schedule a time that makes sense for you and your family.
Fair Pricing with Financing Options Available for Qualified Candidates
At Dodson Foundation Repair we pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing. We also understand that home repairs don’t always fit into the monthly budget. To this end, we offer affordable financing options for qualified clients seeking payment plans.
The Science Behind Lasting Repairs
Foundation repair isn’t just about fixing what’s broken – it’s about creating stability that will protect your home for generations. Soil conditions, water drainage patterns, seasonal temperature fluctuations, and construction methods all play crucial roles in foundation health. Our team analyzes these factors to develop repair strategies that address current damage while preventing future problems.
Modern foundation repair techniques have evolved far beyond simple patches and temporary fixes. Today’s methods incorporate advanced materials and proven engineering principles to create repairs that often exceed the strength of the original construction. Whether your home requires underpinning with steel push piers, installation of helical anchors, or comprehensive waterproofing solutions, each repair method is selected based on your specific soil conditions, structural requirements, and long-term goals.
Honest Communication Throughout the Process
Foundation repair can feel intimidating, especially when technical terms and complex engineering concepts enter the conversation. That’s why clear, honest communication forms the backbone of every project. From the initial inspection through project completion, you’ll receive detailed explanations of what’s happening, why specific repair methods are recommended, and what you can expect both during and after the work is completed.
Transparency extends beyond just explaining the technical aspects – it includes honest pricing with no hidden surprises. Every estimate clearly outlines the scope of work, materials required, and timeline for completion. When unexpected conditions arise during excavation or repair work, communication happens immediately so you can make informed decisions about how to proceed.
