Your Trusted Foundation Repair Contractor in McKinney

Foundation Repair

When it comes to the structure of your house, stability and longevity are everything. Let our team inspect your home and work transparently to give you the best option for your foundation repair. We use the latest, proven methods in the industry to provide you with a fast, effective and affordable solution.

Hydraulically Pressed Solutions

• Concrete pressed pilings – This is a cost-effective option suitable for softer soils. Our cylinders are pushed to the point of refusal by building up friction on the sides of the cylinders. Our high compressive strength concrete is rated much higher than even your slab foundation.
• Steel pier – This top-of-the-line pier option is unlike concrete piers that can have trouble pushing through tougher clays. The steel pier’s sleeve lock design allows each piling to lock into the next, using friction reduction technology to push to the rock layer. Also, the steel pier is concentrically loaded, meaning it’s installed directly below the foundation, not offset via an expensive bracket.
• Hybrid transition pier – The hybrid transition piers combine the strength of a steel pier system with the affordability of concrete. These piers are made of a combination of double-walled steel and high-strength concrete, reaching deeper into the ground than a traditional concrete pier.

Drilled Or Placed In Spot Solutions

• Drilled pier – These piers are reinforced with rebar and filled with concrete, making them a reliable and sturdy option for structures that could be damaged by a hydraulic press. However, they can only reach 12 feet deep, so they’re best suited for structures whose foundations are equal to or higher than that.
• Helical pier – This design allows for better performance in highly expansive soils. They are also not limited to depth like a drilled pier. While they are a larger investment, they can be installed in a fraction of the time and will hold up longer than drilled concrete piers.
• Pad & Block – Typically found beneath older homes, this type of support is one of the most basic options. For customers looking to upgrade the stability of an older house, this is an affordable option.

Drainage & Discharge Systems

Oftentimes, residential properties are created without considering how water will affect the area over time. From sloped yards and inefficient downspouts to standing water after a rainstorm, there are many reasons to turn to PermaTech for your drainage system. Here are a few solutions we offer:

• French drains – Our technicians will place a perforated pipe into a trench below your lawn, lined with a weed barrier and gravel. This style of drain collects excess water from your property and channels it away.
• Downspout tie-ins – We can extend, add-on or tie-in your downspout to redirect rainwater from the corners and edges of your home.
• Correcting grading problems – If the area around your home slopes steeply or the wrong way, water can collect against your home. This can lead to water damage, pests and other costly issues.

Save yourself the headache of water damage and the eyesore caused by a soggy lawn with help from our team. Our team works closely with local engineers to determine the right solution for your home and then we get to work fast. For top-quality discharge systems in North Texas, contact PermaTech.

Tree Root Barrier Systems

When planting a tree, it’s ideal to install a barrier system underground between the tree and your home’s foundation. Using a barrier material like high-density polyethylene will redirect the roots away from your house as it grows over the years. Preventative measures like this can protect more than your foundation. If left unchecked, tree roots can cause cracks in your sidewalks, driveway and sprinkler system.

If you already have a tree on your property and are worried about roots disturbing your foundation, irrigation system or hard landscaping, our team can install a root barrier system for you, usually completed in a day. Our services won’t harm the tree, so you can enjoy your landscaping while gaining peace of mind.
