Metro Foundation Repair is back — a Texas heritage brand with thousands of piers in the ground and over a decade of experience keeping homes standing straight.
Most foundation companies send a salesman. We send people who've spent their lives under houses. You'll get a plain-English explanation of what's happening to your home, what it needs, and what it doesn't — and if it doesn't need piers, we'll tell you that too.
Every evaluation starts with the symptoms — the cracks, the doors, the slopes — and works backward to the cause. No cause, no sale.
You'll understand everything we tell you. If a pier is needed, you'll know why, where, and what it does. No jargon walls.
This brand carried our reputation across North Texas for over a decade. We're not about to trade that for a shortcut. Every job carries our lifetime transferable warranty — ask us about it when we talk.
Metro Foundation Repair handles pier-and-beam and slab foundation repair for homes across the I-35 corridor of Texas — stabilizing settling foundations and getting houses back where they belong. Our sister brand, Metro Leveling, takes on leveling work. If your home is in Granbury or the surrounding North Texas country, you're in our territory.

Metro now has local pages for foundation repair in Dallas and foundation repair in Fort Worth, plus dedicated pier and beam repair for the Metroplex's older homes.
Foundation trouble rarely shows up all at once. It whispers first — a door that used to close fine, a hairline crack that wasn't there last spring. Here's what North Texas homeowners usually notice first:
One or two of these doesn't always mean piers. But it always means it's worth a look — and our look is free.
Get My Free EvaluationNo pressure, no three-hour sales pitch. Here's the whole process, start to finish:
One call to (817) 670-4474. Tell us what you're seeing. We'll set a time to come look — at your schedule, not ours.
Inside and out, foundation to roofline. We measure, we photograph, we check elevations. You walk with us and ask anything.
What's causing it, what it needs, what it doesn't. If your house doesn't need piers, we'll say so and tell you what to watch.
Where each pier goes and why, in writing, before any work starts. No surprises mid-job.
Crews that have done this thousands of times. Tidy site, respected property, done when we say it'll be done.
We walk it with you when we're finished and make sure you're satisfied before we call it done.
One product: pressed concrete piles. No steel, no gimmicks. Here's the math that makes it permanent.
Each concrete cylinder stands 12 inches tall and about 10 inches around — roughly 122 square inches of contact with the earth, every single cylinder.
We press cylinders down until the ground refuses — usually 10 to 20 deep. That's 1,200 to over 2,400 square inches of grip on the soil per pier.
Piers go in about every 7 feet around the structure, so each one carries only its own 7-foot slice of the house. The load is bridged across every pier — never stacked on one.
The hydraulic ram presses each pile with more force than the house will ever put on that spot. The pile stops only when the ground pushes back harder than your home ever will. The installation is the load test — the earth proves it can hold before we leave.
Lifetime transferable warranty. It can't settle further — if it could, the ram would have kept pushing. And when you sell the house, the warranty goes with it.
Get My Free EvaluationAnyone can look at a crack and sell you piers. We measure first, then decide. Here's what a Metro evaluation actually produces:
We take precise elevation readings across your slab — inside rooms, outside perimeter, garage, porch. Every reading gets marked on a to-scale floor plan we draw of your home.
Those readings become a contour map of your foundation — a top-down picture showing exactly where the slab has dropped, heaved, or twisted, and by how much. You see what we see.
From the map, we establish the target line — where your foundation needs to be to meet engineering standards. The repair plan shows how much lift each area needs and where. No hand-waving.
The map stays on file. If anything ever moves again, we measure against the original — so there's never an argument about what changed.
If the map says it doesn't need piers, we say so. Plenty of the homes we evaluate don't need work — and we'd rather tell you that than sell you something your house doesn't need.
There's no Texas law that defines a failed foundation. So we build to the documents engineers actually use:
Across the industry's guidelines, a slab sloping more than 1% — about 7 inches across a 60-foot house — is called a failure. We measure yours against that number, not a feeling.
Engineers also check deflection: if the middle of a span sags more than the span length divided by 360, it fails. On a 60-foot run, that's under 2 inches. Small numbers, big consequences.
These numbers come from the Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI DC1.8-18), the American Society of Civil Engineers' residential foundation guidelines, and the Foundation Performance Association's Texas-specific FPA-SC-13-0. Ask us about any of them when we're at your table.
Most of North Texas sits on Houston Black clay — expansive soil that swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry. Summer drought pulls moisture from under your slab unevenly; the ground drops in some spots and not others. That's differential movement, and it's what cracks walls and sticks doors.
Even if your house doesn't need piers, water management is what keeps it that way:
We'll tell you straight what your water situation looks like during the evaluation — even if the answer is "you're fine, just keep doing what you're doing."
Get My Free EvaluationFive rigs, one crew, zero salesmen. When Metro rolls up, it's career foundation men in branded shirts — the same hands that have put thousands of piers in North Texas ground.
The signs above are the early warnings, but only an on-site evaluation tells the real story. That's why ours is free — we'd rather look and tell you it's fine than have you guess. Plenty of homes we look at don't need piers.
Honest answer: it depends on the house — how many piers, how deep they have to go, and what the soil's doing. Any number we gave you over the phone would be a guess, and we don't guess with your money. Call for a free evaluation and you'll get a real number in writing.
Same name, same bloodline. Metro Foundation Repair worked North Texas for over a decade before the company was sold. Now the brand is back under the family that built it. Read the story.
We're based in Granbury, Texas, and we work across North Texas. If you're close enough to see a water tower, call us — start with Granbury and we'll tell you straight if you're in range.
Pier installation means digging, and we won't pretend otherwise. But experienced crews keep the work tight to the foundation, and we treat your property like it's our own mother's yard.
Most residential jobs run a few days, not a few weeks. You'll get a real timeline in your written plan before we start — and we hit the timelines we give.
Lifetime transferable warranty — in writing, before the job starts. Our pressed concrete piles are driven to refusal under pressure greater than your home's weight, so they can't settle further. Sell the house, and the warranty transfers to the new owner.
Metro Leveling is our sister brand — same family, same heritage, focused on leveling work. Meet Metro Leveling.
Two ways to get started — pick whichever fits where you are right now.
Have an engineer's report or a competitor's estimate? Upload it below — we'll give you an apples-to-apples estimate based on exactly what they proposed, pier plan and all.
Don't have any of that? No problem. Send your contact details and a couple of photos of what you're seeing, and we'll call you to schedule a full Metro certified inspection.
One call. A real look at your foundation. Straight answers about what it needs — and what it doesn't.
