    Situated west of Dallas and serving as the central hub for Pinnacle Foundation Repair, Grand Prairie holds a prominent position within the Mid-Cities region of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. With almost 200,000 residents, Grand Prairie stands as a dynamic city straddling the border between Tarrant and Dallas counties. However, like many areas throughout the metroplex, Grand Prairie’s soil is predominantly clay-heavy and known for its high absorbency, causing expansion during intense rainfall and subsequent contraction during dry spells.

    At Pinnacle Foundation Repair, we understand the unique challenges posed by the Grand Prairie soil and climate, and our specialized team is well-equipped to address them – providing tailored solutions to tackle issues such as soil settlement, slab cracks, and foundation shifts. From free evaluations to comprehensive foundation repair services, we’re committed to ensuring the structural integrity of homes and businesses in both Grand Prairie and its neighboring communities.

    Free evaluations for residential and commercial properties

    Radically honest, radically reliable.

    Yep, you read that right: free evaluations. As in no cost, no hassle, no worry. The friendly experts at Pinnacle Foundation Repair are ready to inspect your foundation and check it for signs of damage using the latest techniques like ground-penetrating radar. If repairs are needed, we diagnose any issues and put together a customized plan.

    But here’s the best part: Our evaluations reveal that 1 in 3 of our clients don’t need any repair services at all. In those cases, we offer strategies to keep your structure standing firm and show you how to check for signs of potential foundation damage in the future. How’s that for radical honesty?

    Types of damage to be on alert for in Grand Prairie, TX

    Foundations can show signs of damage long before serious structural issues arise, but you have to know what to look for and what to do when you suspect a problem. Get ahead of the situation and prevent collateral issues by checking for these signs:

    Exterior Brick Cracks in Grand Prairie Texas

    Exterior Brick Cracks

    If you have a brick home and notice either horizontal or vertical cracks on the exterior of your home, this is a strong signal that your home is experiencing foundation issues and needs to be inspected by a professional.

    Cracks on Interior Walls in Grand Prairie Texas

    Cracks on Interior Walls

    Take a close look at areas like seams or breaks in the wall and other vulnerable areas inside your house. These are usually among the first places to show signs that foundation issues are a concern. Inspect drywall around doorways, windows, and thresholds for cracks and misalignment.

    Doors and Windows Sticking ​in Grand Prairie Texas

    Doors and Windows Sticking

    Doors and entryways will begin to sag when there’s damage to your property’s foundation. Doors often stick or potentially swing freely due to the misalignment, and windows may become hard to open and close. Check for these signs and call a professional right away.

    Cracking Floor in Grand Prairie Texas

    Cracking or Buckling Floors

    Flooring issues can be a tell-tale sign that you have foundation issues. If you notice tiles are uneven or cracked, the hardwood is sagging, or if you notice cracks on your exterior slab foundation, you need to have your foundation inspected.

    Frieze Board Separation​ in Grand Prairie Texas

    Frieze Board Separation

    Frieze board separation occurs when the horizontal trim board (frieze board) visibly detaches from the exterior wall of your house. This noticeable gap is a vital indicator of potential foundation problems, signaling shifts or settlements that may jeopardize the overall structural integrity of the building.

    Pinnacle’s proven foundation repair methods

    We are experts at a wide variety of foundation repair methods. This allows us to use the best method for your specific project.

    Lifetime Warranty

    Steel Pier

    In this popular method, we interlock 12-inch steel pipes with a friction reduction plate and fill the pipes with cement to prevent the piers from failing. Steel piers can reach up to 75 feet into the ground - five times deeper than concrete cylinders. And because they can bear a higher load than any other foundation repair method, they’re a permanent solution.

    Lifetime Warranty

    Steel
    transition pier

    Struggling to choose between a steel and a concrete pier system? Get the best of both worlds. Steel transition piers mix double-walled steel and high-strength concrete to provide a strong, stable foundation at a reasonable cost. Compared to a concrete pressed piling or a drilled pier, it reaches deeper into the ground for greater stability.

    Lifetime Warranty

    Helical pier

    Helical piers are steel shafts with round helix plates that screw into the ground as deep as a steel pier, and are our go-to method where unstable soils are a concern. These piers install quickly and cause little ground disturbance and vibrations, making them ideal for tying back bowed walls or lifting fragile structures in sandy soils.

    10-Year Warranty

    Drilled pier

    Drilled piers are screwed into the earth instead of pressed, which causes less strain to the building. These lightweight and durable piers are an ideal choice for smaller buildings that are unable to endure the vibrations caused by a larger hydraulic press. We reinforce these 12-to-18-inch piers with rebar and a five-sack concrete mix.

    5-Year Warranty

    Mud jacking

    Got sunken or uneven concrete slabs on your porch or home’s foundation? Our Mud Jacking process solves this by injecting a mixture of water, soil, sand, and cement beneath the surface to restore the slab’s proper elevation.

    What our Grand Prairie clients say:

    Can’t say enough about Pinnacle foundation. Everyone in the company we dealt with were professional, responsible and very very nice.
    Thank you for making an unpleasant home repair a great experience.
    Luis is fantastic. Thoughtful, diligent, helpful in explaining.
    Keith came for a free inspection today and was pleasant, honest, and on time. He provided 2 options and did not push a rush, mandatory repair. No pressure from Keith and it was much appreciated!
    Ryan Tilotta, arrived ontime, looked at the problem areas, and got right to measuring. He explained what he was doing, how the process works, and what I might expect time and moneywise, all interwoven with the most amazing and hilarious stories. He really should write a book or do stand up. I hope to never have another foundation concern again, but if I did, I would definitely have Ryan back to evaluate it. Thanks Ryan for looking at my house. And no, my tears were from laughing so hard not the potential price. Still I'll wait for the final estimate. - Amy Taylor
    Very satisfied!! Pinnacle was prompt and professional every step of the way. Chris explained each part of the process and was able to answer my questions as they came up. Victor was great at following up with me while the actual work was being done. Team was in and out in less than two full days and completed over 20 piers including four interior piers. Watching them lift my house in sync was wild. Large cracks are closed and doors are no longer stuck!!
    Had Pinnacle come out to inspect our pier and beam home. The process was simple and the information shared was straightforward and clear. If you need a foundation inspection done, I highly recommend.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your feedback, Levi!
    Excellent service. Jose P. went above and beyond. He came out to do an evaluation and warranty check. He explained measurements to me which showed no major movement. Went over my questions and concerns on keeping the outside dirt good for the foundation. Explained needed to extend drain gutters and better grading in some places as well as getting dirt fill where needed. I had a stuck window and he spent time looking at it and found the issue. I would highly recommend Jose and Pinnacle Foundation Repair!
    Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review, Mark!
    I had an exceptional experience with Pinnacle Foundation from beginning to end! Keith, the project coordinator, went above and beyond — he ran detailed comparisons of tunneling outside the house versus inside the house, walking me through all the numbers, options, and possible scenarios. He spent real quality time explaining everything so I understood exactly what to expect before the project even started. He patiently answered so many questions and so many additional telephone calls and texts asking about the "what ifs".

    Victor, the project supervisor, was equally outstanding. He met with me prior to the project starting to walk through and explain what will happen during the work and when the foundation is actually lifted. He stayed on top of every detail throughout the process and even took the time to fix my front door so it would lock properly after the foundation was lifted — something I really appreciated since my husband was at work during the day and I wanted to make sure the house was secure.

    The project took about a week to complete, including all the digging and backfilling. Pinnacle also recommended a wonderful plumbing company to perform the plumbing static test before they backfilled the tunnel that ran under a majority of the house. When the house was raised about three inches, it caused a few plumbing connections to pop after 40 years of compressed dirt around the pipes shifting. The plumbing team handled the necessary repairs, and once the static test passed, the Pinnacle crew returned promptly to backfill the tunnel and restore the yard. This saved me a ton of money because the plumbing crew could utilize the tunnel that Pinnacle had dug out to access quite a few of the plumbing connections.

    By the end, the yard looked fantastic — you could barely tell any major work had been done. The office staff was also great with scheduling and communication throughout the process, keeping everything running smoothly.

    Once everything was back to normal, Pinnace sent out a structural engineer to sign off on the final numbers of the foundation and issue a report included with the warranty information as well as to satisfy the city work permit.

    On top of their professionalism and quality work, Pinnacle offers a lifetime transferable warranty (new owner will have to obtain another plumbing static test in order to transfer the warranty) which really gives peace of mind knowing the investment is protected.

    Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team’s honesty, care, and attention to detail make Pinnacle Foundation a company I’d recommend without hesitation!
    Response from the owner:Wow, Katie, thank you for sharing such an amazing review about Keith, Victor, and the rest of the team, and we are extremely grateful for your trust in Pinnacle with your home!
    I can’t say enough good things about Pinnacle Foundation Repair. From start to finish, they were professional, honest, and incredibly thorough. The team showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and made sure the foundation repair was done right the first time. At the completion of the job, there was some left over dirt that Miguel the Ops Manager who was on site offered to move to fill in some low spots around my house. Above and beyond customer service!

    You can tell they take pride in their work — I called James my sales rep shortly after the crew left to look at something, and without hesitation, he had my question/request addressed immediately.

    Highly recommend Pinncale to anyone needing foundation repair done the right way! Big thanks to James (Sales Rep), Miguel (Ops Manager), and Yvette and Kristin (Sales Office) for their exceptional customer service and support.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for your awesome review, Terry, and for sharing your experience with James, Miguel, and the rest of the team! We are grateful for your trust in Pinnacle with your home!

    FAQs about Foundation Repair in Grand Prairie, TX

    Grand Prairie soil is mainly clay, known for soaking up water like a sponge. When it rains hard, it swells, and when it dries, it shrinks. This can spell trouble for foundations, as uneven water accumulation may occur around the base, exerting pressure that can push certain areas of the foundation upwards and lead to damage.

    In most cases, the repairs will not require you to be out of the home during the process, but there are some scenarios where some rooms would have to be cleared out to cut through the slab to install piers. However, Pinnacle offers tunneling services as an option to avoid this disruption.

    The cost for foundation repairs will vary depending on the issue, but an average quality repair made by a reputable company is going to average just over $11,000 based on the thousands of repairs we have made over the past 12 months. This average cost also includes having a reputable 3rd party engineer inspecting our work, a city permit, and also a hydrostatic plumbing test by a 3rd party plumber.

    Our steel pier system is the best method used in most structures in Grand Prairie and surrounding areas. Not only does it penetrate even the most dense clay in Texas, providing the most permanent solution, it’s also stronger than similar steel options on the market that many national foundation repair companies offer at a higher price.

    As long as the structure is lifted correctly by a properly trained technician following the proper IRC guidelines, repairing an affected area will not cause other areas of the foundation to settle. There are some foundation repair companies that outsource their repairs to inexperienced subcontractors that have created this stigma, but we do not operate this way at Pinnacle Foundation Repair.

    : It’s best to take action as soon as you see signs of failure, no matter what time of year it is. With our extreme Texas weather conditions and problematic soils in Grand Prairie, it’s not advised to wait to repair your foundation. As time passes, the foundation failure can worsen and have a negative impact on a greater portion of the foundation, resulting in a larger scope of repair work. While cracks in the flooring and sheetrock are obvious signs of failure, watch for less obvious signs, like doors swinging on their own, trim separation, and sloping in the floors.
