Foundation settlement is a common problem in Frisco. The city’s unique foundation repair challenges result from a combination of rapid growth, mixed soil composition, and North Texas’s expansive clay. Frisco was formerly farmland, but became an urban center almost overnight. Because of this, new developments have different soil preparation standards than established areas. Blackbeard Foundation Repair has experience in both legacy construction concerns and newer foundation repair projects with newly built homes.
The rapid development of Frisco and the area’s unique geology and building environment require customized evaluation and solution development. Our company has decades of industry experience in serving Frisco with every type of foundation system imaginable. We are proud to work with prestigious developments and custom homes, as well as neighborhoods where family homes have developed settlement issues. Our experienced staff is equally adept at providing advanced preventive solutions as we are at implementing repairs when settlement problems occur.

Why Frisco Homeowners Trust Blackbeard Foundation Repair
Frisco has faced its own set of unique foundation repair challenges in recent years. The city has sprawled over numerous different soil compositions in a relatively short amount of time. This, coupled with rapid urban development and some neighborhoods being better prepared for structural loads than others, has created some unique foundation issues that can vary from block to block and even by the age of the construction itself. We have decades of experience in the city and work with everything from custom homes in luxury developments to neighborhoods of more traditional single-family homes suffering from aging construction.
Common Foundation Issues We Solve:
- New construction settlement that happens as a building’s structure adjusts to the soil around it in the first few years.
- Expansive clay soil movement that can cause foundation movement during seasonal moisture changes that are typical of Frisco.
- Construction-related foundation stress that is common in quickly developing areas where drainage patterns change.
- Aging foundation failure in established areas where homes and neighborhoods need repair and modernization.
Our work in Frisco has provided us with a unique understanding of the building and environmental conditions that cause foundation issues for the city’s homeowners. Frisco’s construction has exploded in recent years, and soil preparation has varied dramatically from one neighborhood to another. The clay in the area also shifts with moisture levels, which puts added strain on the foundations as the ground around them moves. Fast urban development has also put a lot of additional stress on the soil that affects foundation stability. We recommend a wide variety of solutions to our Frisco homeowners based on this technical expertise and experience. We have earned the trust of local residents through our technical understanding, focus on long-term results, and quality foundation services. Clear communication and quality workmanship go a long way in protecting your home and your investment in your property.

Timely
We bought our Frisco home only three years after construction was completed. We soon found out that our foundation needed attention due to settling from the builder’s poor soil preparation. Blackbeard Foundation Repair helped us find a comprehensive repair plan that addressed both the immediate problem and the need for long-term stability. The crew performed the work in a very professional manner and paid great attention to detail. Our family has had no issues since then, and we couldn’t be happier with their extensive knowledge of Frisco’s construction and soil conditions. Thank you, Blackbeard!

Highly recommend
I was noticing cracks in the walls and worried we would have to deal with major structural damage that would lower our home value. The inspector with Blackbeard Foundation Repair did a thorough assessment and determined that Frisco’s clay soil was affecting the foundation movement in our specific neighborhood. We were so glad that they recommended the right stabilization solution for our needs. The repair was fast, with very little interruption to our lives, and the project manager made sure to keep us informed the whole time. We are confident the problems are fixed, and we have peace of mind that our foundation won’t have further issues.

Outstanding service
I had several estimates for my foundation issues, but I went with Blackbeard because of their focus on a thorough evaluation and educating me about the issue. We needed major foundation stabilization, and their team was very professional and did a great job of explaining the repairs that would resolve all of our structural issues. The workmanship was excellent, and we were impressed by their great customer service so much that we have recommended them to friends and neighbors. I agree with the other reviews and can’t think of a reason to work with anyone else but Blackbeard Foundation Repair. Their Frisco reputation is well earned.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions

What foundation challenges are unique to Frisco's construction environment?
Foundation problems are common in Frisco because of the city’s rapid growth and expansive clay soil. The city’s development has been so fast that it has literally moved from farmland to a dense suburban hub in recent decades. Because of this, new neighborhoods sometimes have different soil preparation standards than areas that are more established. The clay in the ground is also expansive and expands and contracts as moisture levels change through the seasons. This puts strain on foundations as they have to support the weight of the property during soil movement. Frisco’s development has also been so rapid that it has shifted the natural drainage patterns, and changes in soil moisture for many homes. The mix of custom homes, production housing, and varying construction timeframes has also introduced a unique set of foundation vulnerabilities that have to be addressed.
How should Frisco homeowners monitor their foundations for problems?
The best way to keep an eye on your foundation in Frisco is to watch for several major warning signs of structural movement and soil stress. Cracks near doorways, windows, or ceilings are a common problem for older homes that need professional attention. Doors and windows that stick or fall out of their frames, gaps between doors/windows and their frames, sloping floors, and cracking subfloors are all potential red flags. Outside of the house, cracks in brickwork, gaps between the foundation and siding, and separation around porches and driveways are also common signs of movement. Moisture and pooling in basements or crawl spaces can also be an early warning that the foundation needs help. Checking on these warning signs frequently and addressing problems early can help you avoid long-term damage and maintain structural stability.
What repair approaches work best in Frisco?
The best foundation repair methods for Frisco focus on the expansive clay soil and the large variation in construction techniques. Steel push piers and helical piers offer a good solution for transferring the weight of the property below the problematic clay to stable soil layers below the clay. Polyurethane foam can be injected under concrete slabs to lift when settlement has occurred. Pier and beam foundations sometimes require beam replacement and the use of adjustable steel piers to maintain alignment. Proper drainage management is also key to preventing future soil movement and ongoing foundation damage. The Blackbeard Foundation Repair team will also conduct a full site evaluation to identify the most effective solution for your specific property.
What professional inspection schedule benefits Frisco homeowners the most?
Due to Frisco’s soil conditions and development environment, regular foundation inspections are a must. A professional foundation inspection every 18 months is generally a good schedule to track changes to your home and look for issues before they become larger problems. Annual inspections are also a good idea if you live in an area with known soil challenges or have a history of foundation damage or settlement. Significant environmental events like droughts, storms, or unusual weather also merit an inspection to determine any impacts on your property. New landscaping, pool installations, or changes to your property’s plumbing are also good reasons to have a foundation inspection. We also recommend having your foundation inspected during a real estate transaction to protect your investment and improve buyer confidence.
How can Frisco homeowners protect their foundations year-round?
Protecting your foundation in Frisco requires attention to the clay soil and the structure itself year-round. In the summertime, make sure to water the soil around your foundation to keep it moist. Too much water can be damaging, so be careful not to overwater either. In the spring and fall, proper drainage is key to managing moisture and reducing stress on your foundation. Winter brings freeze-thaw cycles and damage, so make sure to prevent water buildup around your foundation by maintaining your gutters and drainage channels. Consider landscape changes to avoid planting trees and other greenery that will compete with your foundation for moisture and cause potential root damage. We also recommend inspecting your foundation for cracks or evidence of soil changes and scheduling a professional inspection if problems seem likely.
