After a home is constructed, changes in the surrounding soil are the primary cause of foundation settlement. Extreme moisture changes, such as drought conditions or oversaturation, along with poorly compacted fill soils, create soil movement. That movement shifts and settles your home, causing cracked walls, uneven floors, and a sinking foundation.
The patented Push pier system is an exclusive foundation solution offered only by TFS and our network partner, Supportworks. The Push Pier System permanently stabilizes your home’s foundation. In many cases it can even lift your home back to level.

The patented Helical pier system permanently stabilizes your home’s foundation. It can even lift your home back to level.
As forces of nature, such as moisture and frost, interact with the soil around your home, the soil expands. This expansion results in a constant inward force on your foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure causing it to crack, bow, and tip.

The GeoLock Wall Anchor System permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and can straighten your wall back toward its original position.Â

PowerBrace systems that use steel beams from the slab to the floor joists to support the walls
If buckling or tilted foundation walls are ignored over time, your home could experience total foundation wall failure. The root of the issue could be hydrostatic pressurefrom moisture-laden soil, expansive soils, frost heave or other common foundation problems.
Â
However, there is an alternative to total foundation replacement, because the EverBrace Wall Restoration System permanently stabilizes even the most extreme cases of compromised foundation walls.
Concrete Repair & Sealing
When you need help leveling a concrete walkway, sealing concrete slabs, or filling cracks in a driveway or other concrete surfaces, turn to our experts at TFS. We offer a number of concrete sealer and concrete repair solutions, including concrete sealing and slab repair, concrete floor sealer, and concrete driveway sealer solutions. In the Cedar Hill area, we feature:
For help sealing and repairing cracks in your concrete surfaces, call 844-468-4674
Concrete is often poured over recently backfilled soil around a home after construction. This loose soil settles over time, creating a void under the concrete. Another common cause of concrete slab movement is erosion of the soil underneath the slab. As water runs down through the cracks and joints in the concrete, it washes the soil out as it passes through. This creates voids in your concrete, causing it to shift and settle, producing a cracked and uneven surface, as well as dangerous tripping hazards.
Â
PolyLevel permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs with a high-density polyurethane formula. Small (penny-sized) holes are drilled into the slab, and a structural-grade polymer is injected into the void. The expanding properties of the polyurethane allow for accurate concrete lifting and leveling of the slab.
Concrete can become damaged because of exposure to natural elements or poor installation practices by inexperienced contractors. Concrete repair is the process of repairing cracks, holes, and other damages in concrete structures. Repairing these structures restores them to their original state after they have suffered damage.
Â
NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks. It is specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility while standing up to harsh weather conditions. Along with the appealing aesthetic of NexusPro, properly caulking joints and cracks protects your concrete slabs from expansion and contraction during hot and cold months.Â
Moisture is concrete’s strongest enemy. It seeps into the pores of untreated concrete, and when temperatures drop, especially during freeze-thaw cycles, that trapped moisture expands as it turns to ice. This expansion destroys the pores and weakens the concrete.
Â
SealantPro seals and protects concrete walkways, floors, and driveways. Unlike concrete sealers available at big-box stores, SealantPro permanently protects your concrete with just one application and extends its life 3-5 times longer than common cement sealers. Without protection, your concrete will inevitably discolor, flake, and crack.Â
As temperatures change, added moisture causes soil to move. This movement shifts concrete slabs poured on the soil.
Â
CompressionGuard is an expansion joint used to alleviate pressure caused by concrete slabs pushing against one another. CompressionGuard is a preventative measure that protects your concrete slabs before they crack and sink due to movement toward other slabs.

Signs of damage to your basement are usually evident with a visual inspection.

These signs make it obvious that something is wrong and needs repair, but the underlying causes may vary.
At TFS, we have a variety of repair methods at our disposal. Those methods include; CarbronArmor, GeoLock, PowerBrace, and EverBraceÂ
Â
The method or combination of methods we select depend on the extent of the damage to your concrete slab.
High humidity and musty odors in your basement or crawl space will affect your upstairs environment. Mold and mildew are musty smelling fungi that thrive in moist conditions.Â
Â
At TFS, our Basement dehumidification systems not only eliminate moisture and prevent mold but are also low maintenance with no messy trays to empty, and a simple once a year filter cleaning or replacement.
Standing water, high humidity, and musty odors in your basement will cause issues on every level of your home. You might experience dust mites, mold, damp carpets, buckling hardwood floors, increased energy bills, nagging allergies and asthma symptoms, just to name a few!Â
Â
Keeping your basement dry and healthy requires our Basement sump pump system. The TFS Triple Sump Pump System is expertly engineered and assembled to safeguard your basement. This quiet pump is assembled to deliver dependable performance that lasts for years. It protects your basement with hours of pumping power even when the electricity goes out.
Block and concrete walls are similar to a sponge and allow moisture to wick and leak through.Â
