Piers vs. Polyurethane foundation repair

We find that most of our Houston customers are unaware of what polyurethane injection is. It’s been a well kept secrete that most Houston foundation repair companies don’t want you to know about. If there was an alternative foundation repair solution that cost the same but took one third of the time to install, would you be curious? Probably so. If that didn’t peek your interest, then it definitely would when you found out how much trouble foundation repair was the second time around.

How much does Houston foundation repair cost?

This question is not easy to answer. Especially in Texas. The reason for such a wide spectrum of repair cost correlates directly with analyzing what problems each particular home is having. If a home is only experiencing minimal settlement in one isolated area around the exterior perimeter, it may cost $3000. However, if a home is experiencing settlement on all sides of the perimeter, then it may cost around $9000. This is the importance of having Aftermath come by for a free estimate.

How do I save money during this foundation process in Houston?

Here are a few helpful alternative hints that may be helpful in the long run.

Adding an irrigation system with a timer set daily for 15 minutes could save your foundation for further settlement.

Plumbing leaks and tree roots are the number one reason for foundation repair. Find out more about what is causing your foundation problems.
