Property Management

As a property manager, ensuring the longevity and safety of your properties is critical. Understanding foundation repair and concrete maintenance and where to go for assistance is essential in preventing costly damage and maintaining property value. Our team at Ox Foundation Solutions answers common yet important questions, giving you the information needed to make well-informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ox Foundation Solutions Offer Any Warranties for Their Work?

We stand behind our work with lifetime, no-hassle warranties for foundation wall repair and drainage systems. Specific guarantees are also available for our concrete lifting services. We encourage you to contact us online or by phone for more details about our warranties and service guarantees.

How Durable Is the Concrete Repair Method Ox Foundation Solutions Offers?

Our concrete repair solution, the PolyLift system, provides a permanent fix. Unlike outdated mudjacking methods, PolyLift uses waterproof and lightweight polyurethane foam. This material prevents future sinking or washout, making it an ideal choice for property managers looking for a reliable repair option.

What Should I Expect During a Concrete Repair Consultation?

During the consultation, one of our experienced Project Managers will assess the damaged concrete area. We’ll work closely with you to evaluate the scope of the issue, provide insights into repair options, and suggest solutions based on your needs and budget. This thorough evaluation allows you to receive a tailored, effective repair plan.

How Can I Address Concrete Damage Potentially Caused by Tree Roots?

Though rare, tree roots can sometimes damage concrete. In such cases, options include trimming or clearing the roots, which might negatively impact the tree’s health, and installing root barriers. Removing the tree may be necessary in severe cases to prevent further damage. Although concrete lifting can address some issues, warranty coverage usually does not apply to concrete damage caused by tree roots. We’ll help you evaluate your options based on the circumstances.

What Causes Concrete to Settle or Sink Over Time?

Sinking or settling concrete is often caused by erosion or soil instability due to water saturation. The soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, leading to gaps beneath the concrete that cause it to sink. Understanding soil conditions and proper drainage can help mitigate this issue and protect your property’s concrete surfaces.

Why Doesn’t Ox Foundation Solutions Use Mudjacking for Concrete Repairs?

We have moved away from the traditional mudjacking method, as it tends to be outdated, less reliable and prone to future issues. Instead, we use a polyurethane foam injection system, which is lighter, water resistant, and more effective in providing a lasting solution for concrete lifting.

Is It Worth Attempting a DIY Concrete Repair?

While DIY solutions may seem cost-effective for minor cosmetic fixes, they generally don’t address underlying structural issues and may not hold up. For a more durable solution, professional repair is recommended—especially for property managers responsible for the safety and longevity of real estate investments. Plus, professional services often include a warranty.

How Are Repair Costs Calculated for Concrete Issues?

Concrete repair costs vary depending on the affected area's size and the damage's severity. At Ox Foundation Solutions, we offer free, detailed estimates that outline potential expenses upfront. We aim to provide a clear and transparent assessment so property managers can plan accordingly.

How Quickly Can My Concrete Be Repaired, and How Soon Can the Area Be Used Again?

Thanks to our PolyLift system’s rapid curing time, repairs are typically completed in hours, depending on the project’s size. The best part is that the concrete can be walked on immediately and driven on within 30 minutes after completion, allowing you to minimize disruption to tenants and operations.

What Ongoing Maintenance Should Be Done After Foundation Repairs?

After the repair, property managers should routinely inspect the foundation for new cracks or shifts in floors and walls. Keeping a detailed log of any changes, along with regular maintenance of the property’s drainage system, is crucial. Clean gutters and downspouts regularly to prevent water from pooling around the foundation, which can lead to future issues.

Hear from Property Managers on Their Experience Working with Ox Foundation Solutions

Dozens of 5-Star Reviews

Our customer reviews speak for themselves.

“We had two sidewalks that collapsed on our campus and created a trip hazard and an ADA issue. I placed a call to Ox Foundation Solutions to get a quote on their concrete poly lifting service. The process was quick and the communication was excellent, from the first call until the day of completion. Evan came out and completed our work and our sidewalk is now within compliance and the trip hazard has been eliminated. They saved us THOUSANDS over having to replace the two panels of the sidewalk. Also, when they left, the work site was neat and clean with no evidence they had even been there. As a director of facilities, Ox Foundation Solutions is a partner you need in your contact list. Cannot recommend them enough.”

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but Chris Gabrielli with Ox Foundation Solutions is of the highest quality. I’m a superintendent with a national construction company, there are several foundation companies around the Nashville area (I’m sure you’ve seen the billboards) but Chris and Ox Foundation Solutions are the only ones I trust. I, initially, started with a different company that was completely unorganized and unresponsive, the moment I called Chris, all my problems were solved. He is quick to respond, transparent, and explains everything he’s doing or will do in basic language. I can’t recommend him more!”
“As a home inspector, I greatly appreciate the quality of work and professionalism that I see from Ox Foundation Solutions. This is a top-notch company that stands behind their work. It is easy for me to recommend to my clients facing potentially costly repairs a company that will provide the best service and the best quality on the market.”
"I almost always can tell, when I get inside a crawlspace or basement, the scope of repair work performed and oftentimes I am dismayed. However, Ox Foundation Solutions has serviced many foundations and structures in my market and I have never, to date, come across a structure documented as being serviced by Ox Foundation Solutions that was deficient in repairs performed, nor in site management. Repairs of this nature are not inexpensive. Consumers need to know what they are paying for and need a guarantee for work performed. From what homeowners have told me, and from what I have seen in my decade-plus tenure, Ox Foundation Solutions is a solid choice for quality."
 
“Through Home Inspectors of Tennessee Association, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Ox Foundation Solutions through not only their exceptional level of performance when it comes to all things structural in the residential home market, but also, the level of knowledge that they expect and receive from the professionals they employ. They have presented continuing education to our organization several times through the years and I have never failed to gain a good bit of practical, useful knowledge, as it applies to my profession as a home inspector.”
 
"Clients that have been directed to Ox Foundation Solutions through members of our organization have had nothing but the highest praise for the skill, professionalism and fair pricing they receive. I would recommend Ox Foundation Solutions any day to a client of mine knowing that their performance will do nothing but reflect well on me as the referring party."
 
“Ox Foundation Solutions has saved me a lot of time and money. They are honest and fast.”
