A Foundation Company That Explains Its Reasoning
We provide foundation repair across San Antonio and the surrounding communities. The thing we try hardest to get right is the part before the work: telling you accurately what your foundation is doing and what it would take to address it.
- Written scope, exclusions, and warranty terms with every quote
- Elevation measurement before any repair recommendation
- Slab-on-grade and pier-and-beam foundations
- San Antonio and surrounding Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal communities
Foundation Repair Across the San Antonio Area
We evaluate and repair slab-on-grade and pier-and-beam foundations for homeowners in San Antonio and the surrounding Bexar, Guadalupe, Comal, and Kendall County communities. That covers slab underpinning, crawlspace and beam work, house leveling, concrete leveling, drainage improvements, and crack repair.
What ties those services together is the assessment that comes first. Every project starts with elevation measurement across the full floor plan, a look at the site and its drainage, and a conversation about what you have noticed and when. The repair scope follows from that evidence.
We coordinate with Texas licensed professional engineers where a permit or a consequential structural conclusion calls for one, and we say plainly when that is the case rather than presenting a contractor evaluation as something it is not.
What We Will and Will Not Claim
This industry has a reputation problem, and it was earned. Here is where we draw our lines.
What we do
- Answer your question first, then explain the reasoning and the evidence.
- Separate observation from diagnosis, and say what appearance alone cannot establish.
- Source consequential structural claims and date any cost figures we publish.
- Provide written scope, exclusions, schedule, and warranty terms with every quote.
- Recommend monitoring instead of repair when the measurements support that.
What we avoid
- Fear-based claims, invented experience, and unsupported superlatives.
- Promises of permanent results, or diagnosing a property from a photograph.
- Invented ratings, credentials, reviews, or citywide average prices.
- Oversimplified soil zoning, such as claiming an entire area sits on rock.
- Presenting a contractor evaluation as an engineering assessment.
Our full editorial standards set out how we source claims, handle corrections, and credit technical reviewers.

Wade Mercer
Foundation Repair Content Editor
Wade Mercer is the editorial pen name used by San Antonio Foundation Repair to publish foundation repair guidance for San Antonio-area homeowners. The byline covers content on slab and pier-and-beam repair, evaluation, and local soil context; technical reviewers and project contributors are credited separately.
Authorship disclosure
Wade Mercer is an editorial pen name used by San Antonio Foundation Repair. Technical reviewers and project contributors are credited separately. We attribute actual project experience and professional qualifications to the people involved rather than to a byline.
Evidence Kept, Not Just Quoted
We keep an internal evidence record for claims that matter: the statement, its source, the date, the geographic scope it applies to, and the reviewer where one was involved. That is what allows us to publish local soil context without overstating it and to date cost information rather than implying it is permanent.
For permits and local process we use current municipal guidance. For mapped soil properties we use NRCS data and explain its scale limits. For system-specific descriptions we use product documentation. For warranties and service processes we use our own written terms.
When something we published turns out to be wrong, we correct it and say that we did. The correction route is on our editorial standards page.
