Welcome to our Rockwall, TX location, nestled east of Dallas along the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard in a city where almost 50,000 people call 30 square miles home. Rockwall’s landscape is unique, characterized by a clay-heavy landscape with more hills than Big D across the lake. The undulating clay soil in Rockwall is highly affected by rain, which often introduces instabilities. Since clay easily expands and contracts with moisture, this presents particular challenges for foundations all across Rockwall. Homes and businesses in the area are often susceptible to foundation concerns, making Rockwall foundation repair a priority for us.

Types of damage to be on alert for in Rockwall, 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:
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
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 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
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.

FAQs about Foundation Repair in Rockwall, TX
Rockwall 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 Rockwall 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 Rockwall, 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.
