Slab foundation repair in Sherman — quoted pier by pier, never a padded lump sum.
Pressed concrete and steel pier repair for slab-on-grade homes on Grayson County's Houston Black clay
From $2000 · Transferable lifetime warranty on every pier.
The problem
Stair-step cracks in the brick, doors that stick every August, a hairline crack running across the tile — on Houston Black clay, that is the slab telling you one side has moved and the other has not.
Grayson County's clay can swing a slab edge more than two inches between a wet spring and a dry September. Every season the gap grows: drywall splits, plumbing lines under the slab flex, and a 4-pier fix quietly becomes a 12-pier job.
We shoot a 40-point elevation survey, plot the map in front of you, and pier only the sections that have actually dropped — lifted back to tolerance the same week, with each pier warrantied for the life of the structure.

Frequently asked questions
Concrete piers or steel piers — which do I need?
Pressed concrete piers handle most Grayson County homes. Where the active clay zone runs deep — common in the blackland east of US-75 — steel piers driven to refusal are worth the extra cost. Your elevation map and soil depth logs make the call, not a salesman.
Will lifting the slab crack more drywall?
A monitored lift moves the slab back gradually with zip-level readings at each pier. Existing cracks typically close; new cosmetic cracks are uncommon and we walk the interior with you before and after.
