Frequently Asked Questions

Can Properties Requiring Foundation Repairs Be Marketed?

Yes. Homes that have undergone foundation repairs can still be listed on the market. The property's structural integrity is restored when foundation issues are addressed professionally, particularly through our lifetime-warrantied push piers. For properties still requiring repairs, Ox Foundation Solutions offers repair plans, allowing buyers and sellers to schedule necessary work post-closing. This flexibility facilitates a smooth transaction process while maintaining the property's stability.

How Do I Get the Foundation Repair Plan for My Buyer?

As a realtor, you will need permission from the seller or current homeowner to access these documents. Once the seller or homeowner contacts us, we can provide their repair plan. This process offers parties access to essential information, facilitating informed decision-making.

Do Ox Foundation Solutions’ Foundation Repair Warranties Transfer to New Homeowners?

Yes, our warranties are transferred to new homeowners. When a property is sold, the existing foundation repair warranties remain with the home and its structure. We maintain records of all warranties, allowing new owners to contact us for future needs.

How Do Foundation Repairs Impact Closing Deadlines?

We collaborate with realtors to schedule foundation repairs that align with closing deadlines. Our dedicated team works diligently to meet the specific requirements of buyers and sellers. This commitment helps maintain the momentum of property sales and minimizes potential delays.

Can Foundation Repair Payments Be Handled Through Escrow?

Yes, we accept payments from escrow accounts. We work with real estate professionals to integrate our services seamlessly into the closing process.

Does Ox Foundation Solutions Offer Guarantees and Warranties on Their Services?

Our company stands by the quality of our work with robust warranties. Specifically, our drainage systems and foundation wall repairs have lifetime, no-hassle warranties. Additionally, realtors can learn about our concrete lifting guarantees by contacting us directly or through our online platform.

How Durable are Ox Foundation Solutions’ Concrete Repair Solutions?

We use the innovative PolyLift system for concrete repairs, offering a permanent and superior alternative to traditional methods like mudjacking. The polyurethane foam used in PolyLift is water resistant and lightweight, preventing issues such as washing out or sinking that are common with heavier concrete slurries.

What Should I Expect During a Concrete Repair Appointment?

During a concrete repair appointment, our Project Manager will engage with you to thoroughly discuss the specific issues at hand. They will conduct a detailed examination of the affected concrete, assessing the extent of the damage and identifying practical solutions. This evaluation considers your clients' needs and budget.

How Do I Address Concrete Damage Caused by Tree Roots?

While tree roots rarely cause significant damage to concrete, they can occasionally lead to issues. If this occurs, several solutions are available. One option is carefully cutting the intrusive roots, which may impact the tree's health. After removing the roots, you can install barriers to prevent future growth from affecting the concrete. Complete removal may be the most effective solution when the tree poses a persistent threat. Concrete lifting might offer a remedy, but warranties typically do not cover repairs for damage to concrete from tree roots.

Why Does Concrete Foundation Sink?

Exterior concrete sinking is often a result of erosion or other soil-related issues, particularly water saturation. When soil becomes saturated with water, it expands and exerts pressure against the concrete. Conversely, as the soil dries, it contracts, creating voids beneath the concrete slab. This movement causes the concrete to settle or sink unevenly.

Dozens of 5-Star Reviews

Our customer reviews speak for themselves.

"As a Realtor, I am always needing trustworthy companies to recommend for my clients. I am so thankful to have worked with Sr. Project Manager, Ben Perkins! Ben was the biggest help for my client on a large basement wall structure project. He was efficient with identifying the issues, and thoroughly explained the whole repair process. Ben was always available for any questions that were asked, and provided necessary resources to ensure the client was able to get the repairs done in a timely manner. I am hesitant to say that Ben went above and beyond, because I don’t want people to take advantage of kindness and professionalism. I am thankful for Ben and Ox Foundation Solutions for the efficiency, professionalism, and skills that they provide to their customers. You forever have a client with me!"

-Monte Mohr, Realty ONE Group
“I want to express my thanks to you for providing lunch and speaking to our Keller Williams Ignite class today. Clearly, Ox Foundation Solutions could be a tremendous help in getting to the closing table. I would definitely give you a call for any type of foundation repair.”
-Jack B., Keller Williams
"Ox Foundation Solutions is my go-to vendor for everything related to foundation concerns and repairs. Chad with Ox Foundation Solutions has never steered my clients or me wrong and I trust him completely with all foundation questions and concerns. Ox Foundation Solutions is loyal and trustworthy and Chad with Ox Foundation Solutions will continue to be my first call."
-M.E. Myhre - Compass Realty
 
“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.”
-Greg J., WIN Home Inspection
 
“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.”
-Tim Fuller, Fuller Home Inspection
