Foundation Repair in Plano & Frisco
Homeowners in Plano and Frisco face the same challenge as much of Collin County: expansive clay soil that swells when it is wet and shrinks during dry spells, which can shift a slab foundation over time. Whether your home is in an established Plano neighborhood or a newer Frisco subdivision, 4 Pillars Construction LLC repairs foundations with one difference that matters: your repair plan comes from an independent, licensed structural engineer, not a salesperson.
4 Pillars Construction LLC is a woman-owned general contractor led by engineer Mary Emadi. We perform the repairs the engineer recommends, nothing more and nothing less, and you finish with documentation you can show a future buyer.
How Foundation Repair Works in Plano and Frisco
1. Independent inspection: a licensed structural engineer evaluates your foundation and writes a report. We can recommend engineers we have a working relationship with, or you can choose any licensed structural engineer.
2. Free repair estimate: once you have the engineer's report, we give you a free estimate for the repair.
3. Repair to the engineer's plan: we complete the work the engineer specifies.
4. Reinspection and certificate: the engineer reinspects the repair and issues a certificate of structural integrity, and the work is backed by our warranty.
Signs Your Plano or Frisco Home Needs an Evaluation
Diagonal cracks in drywall near doors and windows, or stair-step cracks in exterior brick.
Doors that stick or will not latch, and windows that are hard to open.
Sloping or uneven floors, or gaps between floors and baseboards.
Gaps around trim, exterior doors or the garage door.
Not every crack is structural. The engineer will tell you whether what you see is cosmetic or needs repair. Learn more in our guide: why your foundation needs an independent engineer.
