A referral service, researched town by town
About Round Rock Foundation Repair Co.
What's under your house, explained with sources, and one phone number for a free look.
We're a referral service. Homeowners from Liberty Hill to Elgin reach us by phone or form, and Round Rock Foundation Repair Co. hands each request to a foundation repair professional who works that town. The inspection and any repair are theirs; we stay out of the work itself.
Why We Built This Site
Round Rock sits on a line where the ground changes. A 2007 University of Texas study of the city's bedrock found Round Rock "sits astride the break" between two kinds of country. One side has thin, rocky soil over limestone. The other has thick black soil over chalk and shale.
In our sample of the USDA soil survey, Cedar Park had no very high shrink-swell clay. Manor had 92%.
Most foundation advice online is written for somewhere else, or by someone selling a repair. We wanted pages that answer the questions people around Round Rock actually have. They go town by town, and anyone can check the sources. Our guide to Round Rock soil is a good place to start. If a quote is on your mind, try the cost guide.
How a Referral Works
- You phone (737) 259-7007 or fill in a form on this site.
- Your request goes to the foundation repair professional for your town.
- That professional calls you, and you pick a time for the free inspection. If you go ahead with a repair, the contract is yours and theirs.
Nothing you do here costs you money, the inspection included. The professional may pay us for passing on requests. Our referral marketing disclosure explains how. If nobody is free where you live, we'll say so. We won't send your request somewhere it won't be answered.
What We Don't Do
- We don't have crews or trucks, and we don't do repairs.
- We don't give engineering opinions. Inspections and repair plans come from the professional. Where a city asks for an engineer, as Round Rock and Georgetown do, the plan comes from one.
- No star ratings, rankings or reviews of contractors appear here.
- Money from a contractor never changes a word of the guides.
Want more quotes? Go ahead. On a job this size, a second set of eyes is worth having.
How Our Pages Are Researched
Each fact on this site comes from a published source. We name it where the fact appears:
- The USDA soil survey, for the soils under each town and how close the rock sits
- US Census housing data, for when homes were built
- The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's Edwards Aquifer map and rules
- Each city's own permit pages, fee schedules and drought plans
- The guidelines Texas engineers use for house foundations
- NOAA weather records
If something looks out of date, please tell us.
Where We Work
We work in Round Rock and the towns around it in three counties. That stretches from Liberty Hill and Leander out to Taylor and Elgin. You'll find the full list on the service areas page, and each town gets a page of its own on the soil and rules that set it apart.
