Our Process, Plainly Put
A new crack over a hallway door brings questions fast: is it serious, and who should look? We set up Lubbock TX Foundation Repair so local owners have one place to begin: clear facts on soil, warning signs and prices, and a single short form that gets a local foundation specialist out to the house.
Local ground is why these questions come up so often. Lubbock sits on the Llano Estacado, where wind-laid loams cover a clay subsoil and a hard lime layer called caliche. Heavier clays like Pullman and cracking playa clays add to the mix. The City counts about one playa lake per square mile, and streets send storm runoff into them.
The weather swings hard, too: a wet 2010 gave way to 2011, the driest year on record, with only 5.86 inches of rain. And the city grew from 149,101 people in 1970 to 257,141 in 2020, so homes from many decades share that soil.
What Each Stage Looks Like
- You fill in the form. Give your address, how to reach you and a short note on what you see.
- We read it and book the visit. Your note goes to a single local foundation specialist serving your corner of Lubbock or Hockley County.
- The specialist comes to the house. Plan on a walk-around, a look at cracks and usually floor elevation readings.
- The estimate comes in writing. The specialist's company sets the price, scope and warranty. Go ahead, wait or gather other bids.
What to Expect From the Contractor
The company that writes the estimate does the work, so question it. With no Texas state license for foundation repair, these checks are yours.
- Insurance certificate. Request a current liability insurance certificate and confirm the policy dates.
- City registration. If the house is within Lubbock city limits, find out whether the company holds a current-year registration with the City's Building Safety department.
- The engineer question. Find out if a licensed professional engineer will study the house or sign and seal the plan, and who pays the engineer's bill.
- Permits and scope. Ask who pulls any permit, and look for a written scope listing the number, type and location of the piers.
- Warranty and references. Get warranty terms on paper, ask if they transfer when you sell, and ask for local references.
Who Does the Hands-On Work
A local foundation specialist handles everything at the house, from inspection to repair. Our share is the request, these pages and the booking.
- No work on the house. Nobody from Lubbock TX Foundation Repair inspects, lifts, patches or levels a home.
- No prices of our own. Our figures are published ranges; your real number comes from the specialist.
- No insurance role. Claims and insurers are outside our work, and no deductible is ever paid, waived or covered by us.
- No government link. We have no tie to, and never speak for, the City of Lubbock, either county, any town or the State.
What you can expect: no cost to ask, a visit we arrange, and a written estimate from the specialist who saw the house. The decision stays with you.
