What this service is
Tyler TX Foundation Experts is a free quote-matching service. You describe a foundation problem once: a stair-step crack in the brick under a window, a door that stopped latching, a floor that slopes toward one corner, a gap opening at a window frame, or a crack you found in the slab when the carpet came up. The request goes to independent foundation repair companies that work in your area. Those companies contact you, look at the home in person and give you a quote. You decide whether to hire anyone.
What it isn't
This site is not a contractor, an engineering firm or a city office. It does not inspect homes, set piers, level floors, install drains, pull permits, set prices or write warranties. Nobody here will tell you what your foundation needs. The companies that reply do the evaluation and the work under their own names, insurance and contracts.
This site is also not Tyler Foundation Repair Experts, which is a separate business you may see in Tyler map results, and it is not any other similarly named business. If you want to reach a specific company, contact that company directly.
Nothing on this site is engineering, legal or insurance advice. For a structural question, talk to the companies you meet and, for bigger jobs, an independent professional engineer.
How this service is paid
The service is free for homeowners, and there is no obligation to hire anyone. Like most quote services, Tyler TX Foundation Experts may be paid by participating companies that receive requests. That money comes from the companies, not from you. Because companies pay to take part, treat each proposal as a sales offer: compare two or three and check each company yourself.
Phone calls
The phone number on this site is not a local Tyler line. Calls go through a call-routing provider and may be connected to a participating local foundation repair company. Call to be connected with a local foundation repair company: Call (323) 880-1300
How to check a company
No state license. Texas does not issue a state license for foundation repair companies, so check experience, insurance, written warranties and reviews yourself, and ask whether a licensed professional engineer (PE) designs or signs off on the repair.
- Get an independent opinion on big jobs. An independent Texas-licensed professional engineer works for you, not the repair company. You can look up a PE's license with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors (pels.texas.gov).
- Selling or buying? In a Texas home sale, a TREC-licensed inspector must give a written opinion on how the foundation is performing and list signs like doors that stick, sloping floors, and cracks in walls or brick (22 TAC §535.228). An inspector's opinion isn't an engineering evaluation.
- Get the scope in writing. Slab or pier and beam, the pier type, the pier count and spacing, any plumbing test, drainage work, cleanup and the total price.
- Ask about the permit. Whether your repair needs a City of Tyler building permit or an engineer's plan depends on the work. Your contractor should check with Tyler Building Services (423 W. Ferguson St., 903-531-1151). In other towns, check with the city's building department. Outside city limits, Texas counties generally don't issue building permits for home repairs.
- Read the warranty. Ask whether the warranty is transferable if you sell the home, whether there's a transfer fee, and what it covers.
- Know your cancel rights. Texas law gives you until midnight of the third business day to cancel many contracts signed at your home after a sales visit (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §601.051). Ask whether it applies to your contract and look for the cancellation form.
The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act protects consumers against false or misleading claims and broken warranties. See the foundation inspection guide for when an engineer helps, and the foundation repair cost guide for typical national ranges.
Where requests come from
Requests come from Tyler, TX and the rest of Smith County, including Lindale, Whitehouse, Bullard and Flint, and from nearby East Texas towns: Longview, Kilgore, Henderson, Athens and Palestine, plus smaller places such as Jacksonville, Chandler, Brownsboro, Troup and Arp. See all service areas or read how the process works.
Why Tyler? About half of Tyler's homes were built before 1980 (Census ACS 2020–2024). Older neighborhoods like the Charnwood and Azalea historic districts include many early-1900s homes, some on pier-and-beam. Much of Tyler and Smith County is mapped in sandy and loamy soils, many over red clay subsoils with moderate shrink-swell potential (USDA NRCS). That mix means poor drainage, erosion and long dry spells can all move a foundation. Older homes, mixed soils and long dry summers add up to plenty of homeowners with questions about cracks and sticking doors, and hearing from more than one company helps.
