Residents and business owners in Denison appreciate the city’s rich railroad heritage, small-town atmosphere, and close proximity to Lake Texoma. The area’s distinctive mix of residential homes and commercial buildings—spanning offices, retail properties, restaurants, warehouses, multifamily housing, medical facilities, and mixed-use developments—creates a diverse array of foundation types. All these structures, both residential and commercial, are built on Dallas Fort-Worth’s expansive clay soils, which swell and contract in response to moisture, putting pressure on every home and business foundation.
This expansive soil subjects both homes and commercial buildings to constant forces. In wet conditions, clay expands and causes upheaval of residential and commercial foundations. During dryer periods, the soil contracts, creating voids beneath homes and business properties alike. Over time, these cycles lead to uneven flooring, visible cracks, sagging, or bounce—all of which may appear as structural issues in houses or as racked storefronts, misaligned glass, and access hazards in offices and restaurants.

Our team understands how local soils and environmental factors impact historic and modern homes as well as commercial businesses, providing precise diagnostics and engineered solutions for every type of property.

Timely
“Our home is located just outside of downtown Denison, and it is over 100 years old. When the house was built, so was the foundation, and it was a mess. The inspector from Black Beard took the time to explain everything that was going on with our pier and beam system. I really appreciated that, and it gave me peace of mind. The work they did was amazing, and the house feels more solid than ever.”

Highly recommend
“We started getting a lot of conflicting advice about what was causing the cracks in our foundation. We really liked Black Beard Foundation Repair and decided to give them a chance. We had an assessment done, and it was totally data-driven and no-nonsense. They even found a plumbing leak that was part of the issue and coordinated everything. This is a truly professional outfit.”

Outstanding service
“We live close to the lake and were worried about the soil moisture and how it was impacting our foundation. The Black Beard team completely understood and walked us through the whole process. After they installed the piers and improved the drainage, we have zero concerns. The warranty is just the cherry on top. Great job, Black Beard.”

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions? Contact us for expert advice or to book your foundation inspection and consultation today.
How does living near Lake Texoma potentially affect my foundation?
Proximity to Lake Texoma raises the water table for both residential and commercial properties. This leads to persistently high soil moisture, which can keep the clay under homes and businesses in a swollen state. As a result, both residential and business foundations may be subject to upward pressure and “heave.” Proper drainage design is essential for both homes and commercial sites. Black Beard can help protect your investment, whether it’s your home or your business.
Are the foundation issues in a historic Denison home different from those in a newer one?
Yes. Historic homes, typically built on pier and beam foundations, tend to suffer from different issues like rotting sills and collapsed piers. Newer homes often have slab foundations that are also affected by expansive soils. Similarly, commercial buildings—whether historic or modern—experience problems unique to their construction type and location. Black Beard’s crews are equipped to provide solutions for both residential and business foundations.
What is foundation underpinning, and is it a common repair method in this area?
Foundation underpinning strengthens an existing residential or commercial foundation by pushing piers down to stable soil. This is the most widely accepted, permanent repair method for both home and business properties facing settlement.
My house has a crawl space. What warning signs should I look for down there?
Residential crawl spaces, often part of pier and beam foundations, should be checked for damp or rotting wood, damaged or shifting supports, and musty odors. Commercial equivalents, such as spaces under restaurants or retail properties, present similar risks. Black Beard Foundation Repair offers inspection services for both home and business crawl spaces to identify and address these problems.
How can I be sure that the repair solution you propose is the right one for my home?
Every evaluation considers your property’s unique situation—whether residential or commercial—including soil type, drainage, age, and observed symptoms. After a detailed report, we clearly explain tailored solutions, their benefits and limitations, and how they will resolve your home or business foundation issues. Every business and homeowner receives transparent, data-driven recommendations and documentation.
