Frequently Asked Questions

Common signs include cracks in walls or brick, doors and windows that stick, gaps around window frames, uneven floors, and drainage issues near the foundation. Not every crack means major damage. An evaluation helps determine whether movement is active.

Houston's expansive clay soil expands when wet and contracts during dry periods. That movement can stress foundations over time, especially when drainage is poor or large trees draw moisture from the soil.

You tell us what you're seeing, we schedule a visit, and a specialist inspects interior and exterior conditions. You receive a clear recommendation on whether repairs are needed, what type, and why, without pressure.

Most homes can be completed in a single day. Extensive foundation repair work can take 2 to 3 days, depending on scope and weather. We provide a timeline during your evaluation so you know what to expect before work begins.

Allied does not finance projects in-house. We partner with lenders Synchrony, Hearth, and GreenSky so qualified homeowners can apply for financing, including options with affordable monthly payments. Terms are set by the lender and subject to credit approval. Call (281) 479-5832 or visit our financing page to learn more.

Allied offers a limited lifetime transferable warranty on qualifying foundation repair work. Your specialist will explain warranty details specific to your project during the evaluation.

Maintain consistent soil moisture around your foundation during dry periods, ensure gutters and downspouts direct water away from the home, and address drainage problems early. Regular visual checks help catch issues before they worsen.

Large trees near a home can absorb moisture from soil and exert pressure as roots grow. That can contribute to foundation movement. A root barrier system may help protect your property when trees are close to the slab.
