Foundation issues don't get better on their own. HAWC General Contracting identifies the source of movement or settling and makes targeted repairs before small cracks become costly structural problems. We handle pier installation, crack injection, drainage correction, and the related interior repairs that foundation movement causes — drywall, flooring, and trim — all under one roof.

Signs You May Have a Foundation Problem

  • Doors and windows that stick or no longer close properly
  • Diagonal cracks at corners of door or window openings
  • Cracks in drywall, especially stair-step patterns
  • Sloping, bouncy, or uneven floors
  • Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors
  • Exterior brick with stair-step cracks

What We Do

  • Pier Installation: Push piers and helical piers that stabilize and can lift settled foundation sections.
  • Crack Injection: Epoxy or polyurethane injection for concrete cracks that need to be sealed and stabilized.
  • Drainage Correction: Many Texas foundation problems are rooted in drainage — we address grade, gutters, and soil moisture.
  • Interior Repair: After foundation work, we repair the drywall, flooring, and trim affected by the movement.

The Texas Foundation Challenge

North Texas expansive clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry — creating movement cycles that stress foundations year after year. This is why foundation issues are especially common in the DFW area and why drainage and soil moisture management are as important as the structural repair itself.

How It Works

  1. Honest Assessment: We inspect and document what's happening before recommending any repair scope.
  2. Clear Estimate: You receive an itemized estimate covering structural work and any interior repairs needed.
  3. Repair: Foundation work and interior restoration completed together so you're not managing two contractors.
  4. Final Review: We walk through completed work and answer questions about ongoing maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a foundation problem?

Common signs include doors and windows that stick or won't close, diagonal cracks at corners of door/window openings, cracks in drywall, and sloping or bouncy floors.

Is foundation repair covered by homeowner's insurance?

It depends on the cause. Sudden damage from a covered event (like a plumbing leak) often is covered. Settling from soil movement typically isn't. We can document the damage to help with your claim.

How long does foundation repair take?

Most residential pier installations or crack repairs take 1–3 days. Larger or more complex situations may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline during the estimate.

Why are foundation problems so common in North Texas?

Expansive clay soil in the DFW area swells when wet and shrinks when dry, creating movement that stresses foundations over time. Drainage management is as important as structural repair.
