Schedule Your Free Evaluation

Radically fair quotes: We never charge for work that doesn't need to be done. Period. End of story.

Our comprehensive free foundation evaluations give you peace of mind knowing your structure is sitting on a firm foundation. If we do find any issues, you can trust we will only suggest repairs your foundation actually needs.

    Deep in the heart of South Texas, San Marcos stands proudly as the seventh-most populous city in the United States, with a rich and diverse cultural heritage. Offering iconic attractions like the River Walk and historic Alamo, which traces its roots to a Spanish mission established in 1718, San Marcos warmly invites visitors to experience a seamless mix of history and contemporary charm. However, beneath this vibrant city lies a geological challenge – the thick clay soil. Inherent to the Blackland Prairie region of Texas, clay possesses a high shrink-swell potential, signifying a risk of foundation problems.

    At Pinnacle Foundation Repair, we understand the unique challenges posed by the San Marcos 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 San Marcos 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 San Marcos , 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 San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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 and Buckling Floors in San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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 San Marcos clients say:

    I reached out to Pinnacle Foundation to come take a look at my home and give me a quote on possible repairs. Jason Cunningham was who came out and he was great! He came out to my home very quickly which was appreciated.

    Not only very professional but gave me great insights as to what was going on with my foundation and discussed the scope of possible work with me. Took his time to show me pictures of what he saw, explained what was going on and made sure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision.

    Would highly recommend Pinnacle Foundation and Jason to anyone in need of foundation work.
    Pinnacle did an amazing job! Roy Gonzalez team showed up with professionalism, introduced themselves, and went over the game plan. They’re so awesome , it was bulk trash time of the year and I had my bulk on side of the curb where they needed to park their trailer. They didn’t even hesitate and went out of their way and move it for me. They didn’t great job repairing my foundation and explaining to me everything that was done once completed. I definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you Roy and your team.
    I was thoroughly impressed with Jason Cunningham and the Pinnacle Foundation team! Jason's courtesy, friendliness, and clear explanations, made the process smooth. Roy Gonzales and his team were equally impressive demonstrating punctuality and cleanliness. Daniel's explanations and willingness to show me the progress were invaluable. I also would like to thank Yvette in the office for all her help answering my questions with financing and paperwork! She was truly amazing as well. The entire experience from start to finish was truly exceptional.
    Brian Phillips came out to assess our foundation and give us an estimate. He was professional & courteous. He explained the process and shared what needed to be done to correct the foundation. We were very pleased with what he shared. Thank you for your honest assessment.
    I called Pinnacle for an estimate of work after getting 2 other estimates, I found Pinnacle to be straight forward. I appreciated Brian’s knowledge of the methods used. If you want a foundation company on the “level” call Pinnacle Foundations and make a concrete decision.
    Roy Gonzales’ Team of professionals did a great job, courteous, and clean up afterwards!
    Having companies come and give you so much information about what the house needs in regards to foundation can be overwhelming especially for a first time homeowner. I was happy with all the information I received from Pinnacle Foundation and they answered all my questions. This company was also recommended by a friend.
    Brian did an outstanding job explaining all the details of having our foundation leveled. He was very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. I called him several times after our initial meeting, and he was quick to respond. I would highly recommend Pinnacle, and especially Brian! Once we are ready to move forward with our foundation repair we will use Pinnacle because of Brian's professionalism.
    Response from the owner:David, thank you so much for the outstanding review!! Brian is a valued member of our team and we are thrilled you had a great experience. We are happy to assist when you're ready. We will take very good care of your home.
    I am so very pleased with my foundation repair evaluation by Brian Phillips! He explained everything very clearly to me and put me at ease with the work that is required. You should not hesitate to contact Pinnacle Foundation Repair! They really stand above the rest of the companies I received quotes from.
    Response from the owner:Sharon, we can't thank you enough for taking the time to review your experience! Our entire team benefits from your feedback!
    Marco and his crew did a great job at our home, They were very professional, clean and respected our property by keeping their work sites clean. They even were courteous when our beloved dogs had to go outside to go potty, they would all go outside the gate, our dogs aren't friendly either. Would highly recommend them to all our friends. Thank you!
    Response from the owner:Christopher, we can't thank you enough for providing such wonderful feedback! Our crews don't always get recognized for their hard work. We celebrate our reviews in our weekly meetings and the crews are so appreciative when they are mentioned! Thank you, on behalf of the entire Pinnacle Foundation Repair team!!
    Jason at Pinnacle Foundation Repair was fantastic! He was incredibly professional, friendly, honest, and easy to work to with. He took the time to explain the issues clearly and offered guidance on the best solution! Highly recommend for foundation repairs!
    It was a very good experience; very informative and detailed so I can make an informed decision.
    Response from the owner:Susana, we appreciate the review. We know you had many choices and we're glad you chose Pinnacle Foundation Repair!
    Jason was amazing! He explained the process, what he was looking for and what he was seeing during his visit. I could tell that honest feedback was his priority and making sure I was comfortable with the information he was providing. Luckily I did not need repairs but if I do, Jason will be my first call.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, Brian! We value Jason's expertise and personable approach. We appreciate that you took the time to share your experience!
    Heather was very professional and personable. Not knowing anything about how to proceed with my foundation issues, she patiently explained everything to me and my wife and answered all our questions and addressed all of our concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend Pinnacle Foundation Repair to anyone that has the slightest doubt about their foundation. I would also recommend that when contacting Pinnacle to request Heather. My wife says that Heather is indeed an angel and an answer to her prayers.
    Brian is so nice guy
    Brian gave us an accurate and detailed estimate of the cost of replacing our foundation after measuring the elevation of the floor in many locations and even crawling under the house and taking pictures. I learned a lot! Very thorough job of explaining everything, even how we could finance the job.
    Scheduled with Brian for an estimate on repairs. Could not be happier with his service. He was extremely patient educating me on the process for repair, and tips for submitting to my insurance. 10/10
    Brian was awesome, very professional! We had a few tiles crack suddenly, and wanted to get an expert to look at our foundation. After reading previous reviews, Pinnacle, and Brian, lived up to their reputation. He explained the process, walked the property with me and showed what he was looking for, and used their specialized tool to measure our floor. Our issue didn’t end up being with the foundation, which was also explained, and that was that. No trying to sell us repairs we don’t need, which is a breath of fresh air. I would recommend this company, and Brian, to anyone suspecting foundation issues. A sincere thank you from our family! You guys will be our first and only call with any suspected issues in the future!
    Wow, what a huge project but the support, the work and service were handled so wonderfully via Marco field team leader and Eleazar Operations Mgr. Pinnacle Foundations Repair San Antonio is an excellent company. They were professional, kept me informed, and they even went above and beyond in directing any downhill future flooding from rain to flow away from my house. So helpful. I strongly recommend using Pinnacle Foundation Repair San Antonio!
    Response from the owner:Debra, we look forward to assisting you with the next phases of your repair project! Brian's expertise and patience go along way when navigating such a large decision. Our team is ready to continue the same level of service Brian displayed. Thank you for choosing Pinnacle Foundation Repair for your home improvement project!
    My experience with Jason was exceptional. He was prompt to our appointment time and thorough in his evaluation. Cant recommend his professionalism enough. One of the best experiences Ive had in terms of home improvement/inspection.
    Brian Phillips demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise throughout our interactions, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. His professionalism was matched by his approachable and friendly demeanor, ensuring that I felt comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. I greatly appreciated his attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to meet my needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian to my friends, family, and colleagues seeking outstanding service.
    Jason Cunningham provided an excellent proposal for the foundation repairs we needed. I did not feel upsold, or like I was going to overpay for the services provided. Roy Gonzales was a pleasure to deal with as the project manager on the day of our repairs. He knows how to manage the work, and communicates very effectively about any concerns or issues that might come up in repairing a foundation. The team worked fast and efficient, minimizing the loud noises that come with the work, but nothing distracted from the quality of the final product. Truly appreciative of their effort and skills. Will call them back if I have more foundation repairs needed in the future, although, they will not need to touch the work they have already done for me!
    Highly recommend..they were able to go out same week do inspection and get the work done. Communication was great thank you Jesse, Roy and crew I appreciate you guys getting the job done fast and correct.
    Response from the owner:Antonia, we are so pleased we were able to work with your schedule and complete your repair in a timely manner. Our team is dedicated to five-star customer service from start to finish. Thank you for taking the time to provide a review of your experience.
    Pinnacle is refreshingly honest. We had flooring popping up and depressing in multiple areas on one side of our duplex. We had 2 other companies come out and they just gave us a quote for foundation work. Pinnacle took a look and told us they didn’t believe the foundation was causing the issue and recommended we have a flooring person look. We did and they were right! It was a moisture issue from a leak. They truly wanted us to have the right solution, not just the one that made them money. When we eventually do need foundation work, I will be calling.
    My experience with Jason was excellent. He explained things in a manner that none of the other foundation companies could. It was easy to tell that he cared more about us as people than he did about making a buck. These other companies were sell sell sell. Jason was there to help us and provide a solution for our needs. Hard to find someone like that these days. If you have foundation concerns, Call Pinnacle.
    Response from the owner:Scout, what awesome feedback on your experience with Jason, one of our outstanding evaluators. We do pride ourselves on providing honest assessments and the correct solution for your needs. We are here, should you need our assistance in the future!
    Jason was a pleasure to work with, super sharp guy and was able to explain the foundation issues in a way I could understand. Very professional and friendly, highly recommend working with him!
    Response from the owner:Mr. Dowell, we are thrilled that you had a great experience with Jason on our team! We can't thank you enough for taking the time to review your experience, as well. The appreciation for our five star service goes a long way with our team!
    Jason came out to inspect our home ‘s foundation he was professional about informing us, the correction the home needed. I felt informed and with no pressure to buy now. He answered all of are questions we had about the process and what the scope of work would look like during and after the house improvement were complete.
    Response from the owner:Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Manuel! Reviews like yours reward our team for their efforts. Your review helps other home and business owners consider Pinnacle for their foundation repair or drainage solutions. We look forward to serving you further and to supporting you in the future, should that be required.
    Response from the owner:We greatly appreciate the five stars, Nathan! Thank you for the opportunity and please let us know if we can assist further in the future!
    Ms. Heather was extremely patient and understanding my situation with them.
    I greatly appreciated her approach and resolving my issue.
    Thank you again!!!
    Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the opportunity and for the outstanding review! Customer service truly is our top priority!!
    If you’re looking for honest, professional foundation repair in San Antonio, call Pinnacle Foundation! Brian and Heather came out to inspect our 130+ year-old home and were incredibly thorough, respectful of our space, and clear in their assessment. While another company pushed a high-cost repair right away, Pinnacle took a thoughtful, ethical approach—recommending we fix a likely plumbing issue first, which may completely resolve the foundation concerns.

    They could’ve made a quick sale but chose to do what was right instead. That level of transparency, integrity, and expertise is rare.

    If you’re dealing with pier and beam foundation issues, basement settling, or structural concerns in San Antonio, Pinnacle is who you want.
    Response from the owner:Gina, we can't thank you enough for taking the time to review your experience. You have a beautiful, unique home! Thank you for spending the time to thoroughly tour Brian and Heather through your home, while outlining the home's history. We are pleased to have offered some helpful advice on next steps to preserve your home's foundational integrity. Please let us know if we can ever be assistance in the future!
    Jesse and his team did a great job, they completed the project a day early. Jesse explained the process providing updates as the project progressed.
    Response from the owner:We are so pleased we were able to assist, Jazz! In reviewing your project and feedback, it looks like all went as planned and you were very happy with the repair insstallation. We strive to provide five-star service with every repair. We will reach out to discuss your project in more depth. We were concerned to see a four-star review and want to be sure there wasn't something we could have done better. On behalf of the entire team at Pinnacle Foundation Repair, we thank you for choosing us!
    Roy and the crew on site did a great job. Very professional on time both days and very informative. He has great communication skills. I’m very pleased how smooth the process went from bid to completion this company seems to do it right!

    Response from the owner:Leslie, thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with our Evaluator, Brian. He is truly an asset to the team! Thank you for trusting Pinnacle Foundation Repair to assess your foundation's performance.
    Brian can out did an inspection and gave us detail description of our foundation issue. Very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend Pinnacle to anyone looking for an honest quote.
    Response from the owner:Jim, thank you so much for sharing feedback on your experience with Brian! His expertise and dedication to the industry shows with every evaluation he performs. Reviews like yours help other homeowners know who to call for an honest assessment.
    I used these guys to fix my foundation. Jason gave me a great customer experience and the crew that did the work were professional and actually did the job fast. I would use them again without question.
    Response from the owner:Darin, what an outstanding review! We are so pleased that you had a great experience, beginning with the evaluation process. Our in-house crews are dedicated to ensuring the repair is installed correctly, while remaining efficient. We understand the importance of limiting the disruption to your home. Thank you for trusting our team to repair your home's foundation!
    Jason came out to do an inspection of my house and foundation. He was very professional, thorough and honest. He explained that my floor was barely out of level and they'd be happy to do the work, but he didn't think the difference I noticed after the work would be so noticeable that it would justify spending thousands of dollars. So this is one of those rare companies that isn't just out to take advantage of you and make money. I didn't have any foundation repair work done by this company, but they have my five-star recommendation to come out and do the inspection. Thanks again Jason and the fine people at Pinnacle.
    Response from the owner:We can't thank you enough for taking the time to review your experience with Jason, one of our outstanding Evaluators! Jason's extensive experience, including his time as a field inspector for a forensic structural engineer, gives him a unique advantage when evaluating performance. Should you need a reassessment in the future, don't hesitate to reach out to our team. Thank you, again, for the outstanding feedback!!
    Response from the owner:Thomas, thank you so much for the five-star review! From setting the appointment, to the evaluation, to the installation of repairs - our entire team is dedicating to the same level of service - FIVE STARS!!
    Brian very knowledgeable gave me options explain the problem and gave me solutions and ideas to prevent future problems once this gets corrected
    Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with Brian, Jerry! His knowledge of foundation performance and Texas soils make him a very valuable asset to the team. On behalf of the entire Pinnacle Foundation Repair staff, thank you for choosing us!
    Pinnacle Foundation provided a detailed inspection for my clients, and didn't try to sell repairs that weren't needed. They explained ways to help maintain the integrity of the foundation, and gave preventative maintenance tips. Would definitely recommend Pinnacle in the future!
    Response from the owner:Kristy, thank you so much for offering a review of your experience! We know you have options and we are very thankful you chose Pinnacle Foundation Repair! We are here, should you, your family or friends need assistance.
    Highly recommend Pinnacle Foundation Repair to family and friends. Specifically, Brian Phillips was my contact and extremely knowledgeable, professional and honest.
    Response from the owner:Wonderful review, Fran! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Evaluator, Brian! Brian is a valued member of the team and his dedication to his craft is evident in each appointment. Feedback like yours helps other home and business owners know what company to call for an accurate evaluation.
    I was referred to pinnacle foundation repair from a friend of mine here in wildhorse. I spoke with Roy today on how I can continue to maintain the perimeter of my home to protect my foundation. He was very friendly and answered all my questions!
    Response from the owner:Wonderful feedback, Mr. Flores! We are very happy that Roy was able to assess your situation and offer useful feedback. Our team is here, should you, your family or your friends need us in the future!

    We worked with Brian, he is Absolutely Amazing! Prior to him we had many foundation companies come out, but never had a peace! The way Brian communicated with us, reminded me of a safe place. He didn't put down other companies to sell, he listened and educated us! What I Love the most he had our best interests at heart!

    I highly recommend Brian!!!
    Response from the owner:Akemia, what amazing feedback! We understand the challenges homeowners face when deciding on which company to call for assistance with their foundation. Our team is dedicated to transparency! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Brian. He is truly valued!
    Pinnacle foundation was very professional and punctual. We had a concern about our foundation due to a door not closing all the way. Jason not only assured us that our foundation was fine, he went the extra step to take a look at our door and try to help us figure out what the actual problem was. Thank you for your help!!
    Response from the owner:Mariam, we are thrilled that the issues you are experiencing were not related to your foundation's performance. Should you see future changes, don't hesitate to contact us for a FREE re-evaluation.
    Response from the owner:Laura, we love to see five star reviews! Thank you for taking the time to share feedback on your experience with our team!
    Brian was able to answer all of my questions. Between the three companies that gave us estimates we went with Pinnacle based upon their superior product and lifetime transferrable warranty as opposed to the service agreements offered by the others.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for trusting our team, David! We stand behind our repair work with a warranty that doesn't result in future out-of-pocket expenses for adjustments, in the unlikely event future adjustments are ever needed. We are confident in our systems' performance! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and shed light on industry differences in warranties.
    Jason was very thorough and explained everything well. Instead of trying to sell me something I did not need, he explained what I should look for. Honest company. I will reach out for all my foundation needs.
    Response from the owner:We are so pleased you had an amazing experience, Gabrielle! Jason is a valuable member of the team and we feel very fortunate to have him.

    FAQs about Foundation Repair in San Marcos , TX

    San Marcos 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 San Marcos 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 San Marcos, 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.
