What helps companies quote
- Slab or pier and beam: if the floor sits on concrete at ground level, it's likely a slab. If you see vents or a small access door low in the brick or skirting, the house probably sits on piers over a crawl space. Some homes have both where an addition was built later. "Not sure" is fine.
- What you see: a stair-step crack in the brick, doors or windows that stick, a floor that slopes or bounces, gaps at trim or window frames, a crack in the slab, or water standing near the house after rain.
- Where and how long: which side of the house or which room, when you first noticed it, and whether it changes between wet spring weeks and dry summer months.
- Home age: roughly when the house was built. 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.
- Any engineer report: if an independent engineer or a home inspector has already written up the foundation, say so. Companies can quote against that report.
- Selling or buying soon: if a sale is coming, mention the timeline. 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.
- Drainage and trees: gutters that overflow, downspouts that dump next to the slab, or large pines and oaks close to the house. Large pines and oaks near the house can dry out clay soil under a foundation in a drought.
- Photos: keep a few clear photos of cracks and gaps, with a coin or tape measure for scale, to show the companies that reply.
Before you sign anything
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.
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). For large pier jobs, quotes that disagree, or a home sale, an independent evaluation gives you a second opinion from someone who isn't selling the repair. See foundation inspections.
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. Ask whether the warranty is transferable if you sell the home, whether there's a transfer fee, and what it covers.
