How Austin Foundation Repair Help works
This site does two things. It explains foundation problems in the Austin area, and it gives you a phone number that reaches a company able to inspect and repair them. It is not that company.
From call to decision
Call the number
Give the address of the house and say what you have noticed.
Talk to a local company
You are put through to an independent foundation repair business serving your area. If none is available for your address or your kind of job, you will be told.
Book a visit
The company arranges a time with you directly. From here on you are dealing with it, not with this site.
Receive its findings
After measuring the house it explains what it found and what it proposes.
Decide in your own time
You are under no duty to hire the company. Compare, get another opinion, or wait.
What this site is and is not
It is a referral service
It may be paid by the company or its marketing partner when you call. You are not billed by this site.
It is not a contractor
It has no repair crews, engineers or inspectors, and it does not set prices, schedules or warranties.
It does not vet contractors
Checking licences, registration and insurance is up to you. The guide to choosing a company shows how.
Is this the right number for your problem?
| Your situation | Call |
|---|---|
| Cracks, sticking doors, sloping floors or a house settling on one side | This number. It is for foundation repair on homes |
| Water coming into a crawl space or a below-ground room, with no sign the house has moved | A firm that does waterproofing |
| A suspected leak, a jump in the water bill, or a blocked drain | A plumber |
| A roof leak, or general remodeling | A roofer or a remodeling contractor |
| Sudden movement, a wall about to give way, or a smell of gas | 911, and the gas utility from outside the house |
Who the number is for
Homeowners, people buying or selling a house, and landlords of houses in Austin and the towns nearby. It is not set up for commercial buildings or for businesses offering their services.
Questions about the service
Will I be charged for the inspection?
That is the repair company's decision, not this site's. Ask when you book the visit.
Is my call recorded?
It may be, for quality and record keeping. The privacy policy explains what is kept.
Can I pick which company I am referred to?
No. The call goes to a participating company that serves your address. You are welcome to call other companies yourself and compare.
Want it looked at?
Phone, say where the house is and what has changed, and you will be speaking with an independent local foundation repair company. It can book a visit to measure the floors and tell you what it finds.
Calls may be recorded. Austin Foundation Repair Help refers callers and repairs nothing itself, as the referral disclosure sets out. Call details are handled under the privacy policy.
