At Black Beard Foundation Repair, we recognize the unique needs of those living and working in Gunter. Residential property owners appreciate the rural character and generous lots ideal for single-family homes, while commercial property owners, facility managers, and business leaders value Gunter’s accessibility and potential for business growth, including offices, retail, restaurants, and light industrial facilities. However, both residential and commercial structures across Gunter share one critical challenge: they are all built on the expansive Blackland Prairie clay soils.
Seasonal weather fluctuations—intense rains followed by drought—cause this soil to expand and contract. This movement places continuous stress on foundations for every home and business, resulting in potential structural damage year after year. Our expertise allows us to help both residential and commercial clients address and resolve these issues.
We specialize in residential and commercial foundation repair and house leveling throughout Gunter and surrounding areas. With extensive experience serving Grayson County, our team understands the soil conditions that impact both homes and businesses. We thoroughly inspect every property, whether residential or commercial, to determine the root cause of foundation issues, and engineer long-term, customized solutions. From private homes to large commercial properties, we have the skills, equipment, and experience to safeguard your investment—no matter the type of foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Our expert team is ready to help! Get personalized advice or book your foundation inspection and consultation today.
Why are the expansive clay soils in Gunter so problematic for foundations?
The Blackland Prairie clay soil beneath every Gunter home and business is unique in its ability to expand and contract significantly. This ongoing movement exerts pressure on residential and commercial foundations, causing damage over time. Our repair strategies address the needs of both home and business structures, accounting for these ever-changing conditions.
My pier and beam foundation has a musty smell. Is this related to a foundation problem?
A persistent musty odor in a residential or commercial crawl space is often due to moisture issues connected to foundation deterioration. Whether at home or in a business, poor drainage and excess moisture promote conditions that lead to mold, structural decay, and settlement. Timely foundation repair is essential for property health.
Is it possible to prevent foundation issues in Gunter, or are they inevitable?
While no residential or commercial property in Gunter is entirely immune to foundation problems, significant risks can be mitigated. Proper drainage systems and consistent perimeter watering around the foundation help maintain soil stability, reducing threats to homes and businesses alike.
How long does a typical foundation repair project take?
Project timelines for residential and commercial foundation repair vary with complexity and scope. Smaller home repairs may take two to three days; larger commercial or residential projects, such as full house leveling or extensive tunneling, can require a week or more. We provide a clear, written schedule before work commences.
Can foundation problems affect my home’s plumbing system?
Foundation settlement impacts both residential and commercial plumbing systems. Shifting slabs or piers can stress drain lines, leading to leaks and further foundation movement. Our inspection process includes thorough plumbing checks for both homes and businesses, ensuring that all sources of risk are addressed.
