- Steel Piers - or steel push piers - push deep into the ground with hydraulics to support your foundation.
- Concrete Piers - typically better suited for pier-and-beam foundations.
- Drilled Piers - drilled on site, the shafts are filled with concrete and steel reinforcement.
- Belled Piers - another type of drilled piers, these piers are bell-shaped at the bottom, as the name suggests.

Water Management and Drainage Solutions:
When it comes to foundations, there is a Goldilocks-zone of the perfect moisture level. Not only can drainage problems leave your foundation at risk, but believe it or not, there are a special set of problems that come with overly dry conditions, especially with the heavy clay soils found around Plano.
With the drought-like conditions often occurring in the region, the soil around your home can shrink and pull away from your foundation as it dries out, causing gaps.
Sometimes the best solution is to water your foundation during dry spells. If that doesn't sound like something you want to add to your honey-do list, we have automatic sprinkler solutions which can help.
During your home's free inspection, we will assess the drainage and grading around your property. Down spouts and gutters need to direct water away from your foundation. We will discuss whether our drainage solutions (such as French drains), can help with your foundation problems and rescue you from future issues.
Whether you are combating swelling soil or battling erosion, you can trust Apex Plano Foundation Repair to get you back on a solid foundation.

During your free inspection, if we do discover that your foundation needs help, don't worry, we will thoroughly cover which solution would be a best fit for your specific type of foundation and surrounding soils, all while keeping your budget and your property's aesthetic (such as your landscaping) in mind. Sometimes other services are needed on site - such as custom solutions, which we are often able to do as well (or get you lined up with an excellent service provider who can.)
We offer top-notch residential foundation repair services, and we proudly back our services with warranties - just ask us during your evaluation, and we will gladly go over our lifetime transferable warranty in more detail with you.
Root Barrier Installation:
Roots cause foundation damage indirectly by destabilizing the soil around them. When a thirsty root pulls water from the soil, and also when they move through the soil as they grow, they cause movement of the soil. This destabilization can cause gaps and voids where your foundation isn't supported.
Further, you also may find yourself in need of foundation repair services if a tree root finds its way to a crack in your foundation and makes it larger.
Though it may have just been a twig when you first planted it, before you know it, a tree will have grown and might make problems for your concrete foundation if you didn't plant it far enough away from your home.
If you are having issues with tree roots, we can help by installing root barriers, which can save you from needing a foundation repair in the future.
Tunneling Services:
If you need to do repairs underneath your slab foundation, consider our tunneling services. There's no need to bring a jackhammer into your home when you can instead have us simply dig a tunnel underneath your slab for access to make repairs.

What causes foundation problems?
We'll explore some of the common culprits below:
Expansive Soils
Heavy clay soils (such as those found around Plano) are major culprits when it comes to causing foundation problems. Little clay particles and minerals within expansive soils cause it to expand when it gets wet, then shrivel like a raisin when it dries out again. The constant expansion and contraction can apply serious pressure to your foundation, which can result in cracks and other structural issues. Moisture management is key when dealing with this tricky soil type - it needs to be neither too wet, nor too dry to avoid some of the most common foundation issues we find in homes or commercial properties.
Moisture Levels Around Your Foundation
As mentioned earlier, moisture levels around your foundation can create headaches for property owners. When heavy clay soil is too dry, it can shrink away from your foundation walls, causing gaps which can lead to a lack of support. When it rains, this soil type can expand and put pressure on your foundation. Not to mention, with
pier-and-beam foundations, too much moisture can lead to serious issues in your crawl space. We have answers for you when it comes to moisture issues in both pier-and beam foundation and
slab concrete foundations.
Hydrostatic Pressure
During heavy rain, if excess water is able to build up, it can put pressure on your foundation walls - a little something we like to call hydrostatic pressure. This can put a hefty force on concrete foundations, potentially causing some serious structural damage. We're talking loads of pressureá…³ sometimes tens of thousands of pounds worth. If you're spotting signs of bowed walls or foundation cracks, then calling in the experts (such as Apex Plano Foundation Repair) is the first step towards rescuing your home's foundation.
Drainage or Plumbing Issues
Inadequate drainage around your property is a recipe for foundation damage. When water collects around your foundation, thanks to poor grading, clogged gutters, or wonky downspout extensions, it saturates the soil and puts hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls. Over time, this pressure can lead to cracks and can harm the stability of your home's foundation.
Further, plumbing issues (like a burst pipe), can cause a great deal of mayhem underneath your concrete foundation when soil washes out. That's why quick detection and repair of water leaks are a must to prevent foundation problems.
Poor Construction or Improper Repairs
Perhaps you had a bad experience with a previous foundation repair business, or maybe your home is haunted by poor construction practices from before you even purchased it. Whether there were issues with grading or improper compaction during construction, or whether you had a previous repair that wasn't the permanent solution that it promised to be, we will be happy to help by giving you a
free inspection, so you can make the best decision for your home or commercial property.
Tree Roots
We adore the beauty of towering trees, but they shouldn't cozy up too close to your house. Large, invasive tree roots can create serious problems for your home's foundation.
To keep the peace with your shady friends, it's in your best interest to plant your trees at a safe distance from your foundation. And here's a pro tip – avoid trees with aggressive root systems (we're looking at you, Willows) and keep them at least 50-60 feet away from your home. If it's already too late - consider Root Barrier systems if you don't want to remove the tree.
