Sherman is a historic city and the largest, most significant part of Grayson County. Located north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, its vibrant downtown, historic residential neighborhoods, and established commercial districts are all built on the geologically active Blackland Prairie, characterized by expansive clay soils that can cause substantial foundation movement. These soil conditions impact homes, offices, retail storefronts, warehouses, restaurants, and a wide range of commercial properties.
Expansive clay soil swells considerably when wet and shrinks when dry. This expansion and contraction cycle creates strong, often cyclical and lateral, pressures on the foundations of both residential and commercial buildings, leading to widespread damage. In Sherman, this challenge affects everything from older homes with pier-and-beam foundations to modern residential constructions with slab foundations, as well as commercial slabs supporting offices, industrial facilities, multi-tenant business centers, hospitals, and retail sites.

We have served homeowners and business owners in Sherman and throughout Grayson County for years, delivering effective foundation repair solutions. Our expertise extends across historic residential structures and modern commercial buildings, allowing us to provide accurate, engineered, and permanent repairs that protect both your home and your business property.

Highly recommend
“We noticed some cracks in the brick on our house and got several estimates. We decided to go with Black Beard Foundation Repair because their evaluation was the most detailed. They helped us understand that the large oak tree in our front yard was part of the problem and gave us a solution that fixed it at the source.”

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions? Reach out for expert advice or to schedule your foundation inspection or consultation.
Are pier and beam foundations in Sherman more difficult to repair than slab foundations?
Not necessarily. Pier-and-beam foundations in both residential and business properties require unique skills, including working in crawl spaces and addressing wood components or pier replacement. Slab repairs for homes and businesses usually involve external excavation and structural piers. Our team has specialists in both areas, providing effective service to every property type.
My home was built in the 1970s. Does it face the same risks as historic homes?
Yes. Residential homes of this age have endured decades of soil expansion and contraction cycles that can compromise foundation integrity. Business properties of similar vintage may experience comparable issues. Older plumbing can also increase risk, emphasizing the importance of proactive inspection for all properties.
How do I know if a crack in my brick is a serious problem?
Brick cracks are common in both homes and commercial buildings. Patterns such as stair-step cracks, especially diagonally along mortar lines, are classic signs of foundation settlement that should be evaluated by a professional. Schedule an inspection promptly for any concerning cracks in your residential or commercial property.
Can foundation repairs be made at any time of year?
Yes. Foundation repairs are possible year-round for homes and commercial businesses. While wet weather may cause brief delays, the primary repair methods are season-independent. Early evaluations—especially during the driest months—often reveal the full scope of any settlement or related risks.
Does Blackbeard Foundation Repair provide solutions for crawl space moisture?
Absolutely. Crawl space conditions are closely linked to the stability of residential and commercial foundations. We offer moisture control solutions, including encapsulation and vapor barriers, for long-term protection, improved indoor air quality, and reduced risk of wood rot or mold growth, benefitting all property types.
What are some common signs for foundation repair in Sherman?
Recognizing the early warning signs of foundation problems is key to preventing more extensive and expensive repairs down the line. Common signs include visible cracks in walls and floors, bowing walls, and uneven or sloping floors. Homeowners may also notice that doors and windows become difficult to open or close, or that gaps appear between walls, ceilings, or floors. In most cases, these symptoms indicate that the foundation is shifting or settling unevenly, which can lead to further structural damage if not addressed promptly. A professional foundation repair company has the expertise to accurately diagnose these issues and recommend the right repair solutions, helping you restore your home’s stability and prevent future problems.
What causes foundation problems in Sherman?
In Sherman, TX, foundation problems are most often the result of soil movement beneath the structure. The area’s expansive clay soil is especially prone to swelling when wet and shrinking during dry spells, leading to foundation settlement and other serious issues. Changes in moisture levels, whether from heavy rainfall, drought, or poor drainage, can cause the soil to shift and compromise the stability of your foundation. Additionally, inadequate foundation design or construction can exacerbate these problems for both residential and commercial clients. Identifying the root cause of foundation issues is crucial for developing an effective, long-lasting solution. That’s why free inspections are so valuable—they allow homeowners and commercial clients to understand the extent of the damage and receive expert recommendations for repair, ensuring the safety and longevity of their property.
