FCS Foundation Repair Dallas

Corey J.

This company is honest and reputable. They are extremely professional and the workers showed up on time and completed the job with out landscaping in mind.

You can look around but don't waste your time with other companies that overestimate and overpromise.

I asked for a referral from a neighbor, that they redid a Circular drive . I had them take out and redo a parking pad on the side of my home in Little Elm . They did it as I instructed to make it level. . As it was originally a 1' drop in 15' .

I wish I could give negative stars to this company. They are not honoring their warranty and at this point I definitely do NOT trust them to do any type of work on my home. Please DO NOT use this company for anything especially foundation work.

I have been meaning to write this review for a long time. Rodrigo did such an amazing job with our foundation. When we sold our home 2 years after the foundation we couldn't find our documents and he SAME DAY got back to me and sent over all the foundation documents alongside a lifetime warranty.

On top of this there were plumbing issues in our newly purchased home and he responded to my call in the hour to give us advice on how to check the foundation for issues.

His team was incredible and we reviewed a number of contractors before hiring him. Could not recommend this company more highly.

I'm a real estate agent and have used them twice now. Great company! I would recommend them for other clients.

After a long search of quite a few companies, we settled on FCS to do our drainage installation. This was a harrowing process because we received bids from $4,400 to $16,000 for comparatively similar work. Such a wide spread is scary as a homeowner because you obviously want to take the best bid but you start worrying that you're losing something.

Put simply, you probably are. Nonetheless, we hired FCS. They were installing gutter downspout tie-ins to a solid PVC pipe and running french drain around 2 sides of our house then to the curb. Both pipes would merge and drain through a curb cutout. Some 150 feet of trenching total. What did we lose in taking the lowest bidder? Probably a bit of professionalism, a bit of quality. What did we gain? Speed and our retirement fund.

After taking my phone call, Rodrigo answered my numerous questions about the quality of what they were about to do, and told me that they could start in about a week, which was remarkable for March in Texas when rainy season is fast approaching and many companies are booking more than a month out. Sure enough, they showed up right on time and got to work.

One small downside - none of the workers out at our house spoke any English, which felt a little isolating - I couldn't really ask questions. However, they worked hard and were unobtrusive. During the bidding and planning, the crew did not take any scientific measurements of elevation to make sure that the drop was going to be sufficient. All that I observed was eyeballing. Before they started digging, they did stake off and I'm sure measure then. This would have been more concerning except that another one of my bids did take laser measurements and FCS' plan was the same as theirs.

After about three full days of work, the project was completed. The quality looked pretty good. I could tell that they had done quality trenching work and that they were leveling and measuring carefully. The french drain was correctly wrapped in fabric and they were applying solid black plastic to the house side of the trench to block underground water.

At the end of the project, we had a few mixups, but FCS was great about fixing them promptly. For some reason the crew decided to install a pop-up bubbler rather than cutting the curb as they were supposed to. This is a terrible idea for so many reasons, so before I paid the final half I had them fix it. Then I tested the system, pouring water into the furthest gutter downspout and waiting for water to flow out of the curb. The drain collected at least 2 gallons of water before anything came out, and I could see the water sitting in the final couple meters of the pipe. This means that they came out too low and had to raise up to hit the curb, which means I'd permanently have water sitting in the end of the drain (aka mosquito breeding ground). I paid the final payment and they promised to fix it. They did, the next day, rerouting a bit and supposedly fixing it. It is better - the drain now collects about 1 gallon of water before anything starts flowing out. I'm not sure what is generally acceptable for this type of work, but I'm satisfied with that. I probably could have paid more to another company and eliminated this completely, but I'm okay with my price savings.

Overall, Rodrigo was wonderful to work with, I was very pleased with the price, and the quality of the work looks altogether acceptable for the price I paid. One note: despite their name, FCS avoids doing much concrete work. They focus on foundations and drainage.
