Our process
From first call to final check
- 1
Inspection
Someone walks the house, looks at the cracks, and measures floor elevations to find which parts have moved.
- 2
Repair plan
You get a written scope: where piers or shims go, any drainage changes, and what the price covers.
- 3
The work
Crews dig at the marked points, install supports and lift or shim the house a little at a time.
- 4
Final readings
Elevations get measured again so you can see the change. Ask for those numbers in writing.
What to expect
After you hit submit
- 1
A phone call
A local company calls, usually the same or next business day, to ask about the house and what you've noticed.
- 2
An appointment
They set a time to inspect. Foundation work can't be priced honestly over the phone.

A written estimate
Scope, price and timeline on paper. Getting a second opinion is reasonable for work this size.

Your decision

What foundation trouble looks like in Amarillo
Most calls start with a door. The back door stopped latching in July, or the bathroom door now drags on the tile, and then they notice the crack that runs up the brick in a zigzag beside the garage. Those are the usual first signs here, and they often show up after a long dry stretch, or right after the first big storm that ends one.
The ground around Amarillo moves with moisture. Some soils in the Panhandle contain clay that swells when it gets wet and shrinks back as it dries, and summer heat and steady wind pull moisture out of the top layer fast. A slab sitting on that ground doesn’t move evenly. The edges dry out first while the middle stays put, and a heavy rain or a leaking line can swell one corner while the rest stays dry. Over years that uneven push and pull is what cracks brick and tilts floors.
Amarillo has both kinds of foundations. Many houses built in recent decades sit on a concrete slab. Older parts of town, the kind of streets you find around Wolflin or San Jacinto, have more homes raised on piers and beams over a crawl space. The fixes differ. A slab usually gets piers driven or pressed underneath to support and lift it. A raised home more often needs shims, new piers or replaced beams and sills.
How this site works
Amarillo Foundations is a referral service. You tell us about the house and what you’ve noticed, by phone or with the form, and we send it to an independent foundation repair company that works in your area. They call you, set up an inspection and give you a written quote. We don’t do repairs, we don’t charge you, and you’re free to say no.
A good inspection includes floor elevation readings, not just a look at the cracks. Ask the company to show you where the house is high and where it’s low, and to explain why they want supports in the spots they picked. If they think water is part of the cause, they should tell you that too, since gutters, grading or a plumbing leak can undo a repair if nobody deals with them.
When to call
You don’t need to wait for a crack you can fit a coin into. Call if cracks are new or growing, if several doors or windows started sticking around the same time, if floors feel like they slope, or if you see gaps opening where trim meets the wall or ceiling. If you’re buying or selling, an inspection gives both sides something concrete to go on.

Amarillo foundation questions
Does Amarillo Foundations do the repairs?
No. We're a free referral service. We pass your request to an independent local foundation repair company, and that company inspects, quotes and does the work. Your agreement is with them.
How do I know if my foundation needs repair or just has normal cracks?
Thin cracks in a garage slab or along drywall tape are common in most houses. Cracks that keep getting longer or wider, stair-step cracks in brick, floors you can feel sloping and doors that suddenly stick point to movement that's worth an inspection.
My house is on pier and beam. Can you still help?
Yes. Plenty of older Amarillo homes sit on piers over a crawl space. Choose pier and beam on the form and the company will come ready to go under the house.
How long does foundation repair take?
Many residential pier jobs take a few days once the crew starts. Bigger jobs, permits, weather and plumbing tests can stretch that. The company should give you a timeline with the quote.
What will it cost?
It depends on how many supports the house needs, what kind, how deep they go, access and whether drainage or plumbing work is part of it. A written quote after an inspection is the only number to plan around. Our cost guide explains what moves the price.
Is there a warranty on foundation repair?
Many foundation companies offer one, but terms vary a lot, including whether it transfers to a buyer. Ask for the warranty in writing and read what it covers before you sign.
I'm buying a house in Amarillo. Should I get the foundation checked?
If the inspection report mentions cracks, uneven floors or past repairs, a dedicated foundation inspection before closing is worth it. Pick "Buying or Selling a Home" on the form.
