How Our Process Works
From Worry to Wow
If you’re like most homeowners in San Antonio, the thought of foundation problems or drainage issues can be stressful. But it doesn’t have to be. At X-Treme Steel Foundation Repair, we’re here to walk you through it all—like a trusted friend who just happens to be really good at fixing foundations. Here's how we take you from worry to wow, step by step.
-
First things first—we’ll come out to your property and take a good look at what’s going on. Whether it’s a cracked slab, sticking doors, or soggy landscaping, we’ll listen to your concerns, inspect the issue, and give you real answers. This is a zero-pressure visit and always free. We want you to feel informed, not overwhelmed.
-
Once we’ve seen what’s going on, we’ll put together a clear, detailed quote that breaks everything down—from house leveling to French drains or gutter work. No vague pricing or hidden fees. We’ll also go over financing options to help you move forward without stressing about the budget.
-
After you give us the thumbs up, we pass our pier placement plan to a licensed third-party structural engineer. They double-check everything and sign off so your repair meets all city standards. Once they approve, we pull permits and you’re officially on the schedule!
-
We take care of all the paperwork, permits, and city requirements so you don’t have to. Once everything’s good to go, we’ll lock in a repair date that works best for you and your family.
-
On the big day, our crew shows up ready to get it done right. Whether we’re installing steel piers, leveling your foundation, or reworking drainage, we use top-quality materials and treat your property like it’s our own. Clean, professional, and on-point—every time.
-
Now for the important part. Once we lift your home and the repairs are complete, we perform a hydrostatic plumbing test to make sure your pipes didn’t shift during the leveling. Here’s the honest truth: there’s no way to fully guarantee your plumbing won’t be affected by a lift, but we do everything we can to protect it using industry-best techniques. If it passes the test, awesome! We move forward with the warranty. If it doesn’t, don’t stress—we’ll go over your repair options and help get it resolved the right way.
-
Once the plumbing clears, we wrap things up with a lifetime transferable warranty. It’s our way of saying, “We’ve got you covered.” You’ll get all the documentation, and if you ever need anything in the future, we’re just a phone call away.

Cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors
