What we do
Foundation services that start with a measured inspection.
Every job at Motmot starts with a measured inspection. The repair method (steel, concrete, or hybrid piers) comes from what the elevation survey and the soil actually show, never from a quota. And about a third of the time, the answer is “you don’t need us yet.” The same methods carry commercial foundation repair for offices, retail, churches, and restaurants across the corridor. Most of the corridor splits two ways. Post-1950s houses get slab foundation repair, piers under the settled edge and a staged lift measured in tenths of an inch. Older houses with a crawl space under the floor get pier and beam repair, which is beam, sill and block work rather than excavation. Manufactured homes are their own case, carried on piers and blocking over a pad, and mobile home leveling is quoted as its own scope. The bigger picture on foundation issues in Texas covers why the ground here moves in the first place.
What we do
Every repair starts with the measurements.
Everything starts with the inspection. The repair method comes from the measurements, never the other way around.
Foundation Inspection
Floor elevation survey, crack mapping, drainage and moisture review, ending in a straight answer and a written report. Free, and often the only thing you need.

Already have a repair quote? Get a free second opinion. No sales pitch, just a straight answer. We re-shoot your floor elevations and read the scope line by line.
Learn more →Slab Foundation Repair
Piers under a settled slab edge, lifted back toward plane in measured stages, the most common repair on San Antonio's post-1950 homes. Lifetime transferable warranty.
Learn more →Steel Piers Installation
Built for homes that keep settling on deep, active clay. Steel sections driven to refusal on stable strata, the deepest support we install. Lifetime transferable warranty.
Learn more →Concrete with Rebar Piers
Stacked concrete cylinders with centered rebar, a cost-effective option for the right slab and soil conditions. We'll tell you when it fits, and when it doesn't.
Learn more →Hybrid Piers Installation
A driven steel starter where the soil demands it, finished with concrete sections. Middle-ground depth and cost when the inspection supports it.
Learn more →House Leveling
Sloping, uneven floors brought back toward the original plane. Elevation-mapped lifts in measured stages, on piers that make the recovery permanent.
Learn more →Mobile Home Leveling
Manufactured and mobile homes re-levelled at the piers and blocking, with the pad and the moisture under the home sorted at the same time.
Learn more →Pier and Beam Repair
Bouncy, sagging floors in the corridor's older homes. Beams, sills, blocks, and crawlspace moisture, usually far friendlier than slab money.
Learn more →Drainage Correction
Grading, french drains, gutter and downspout fixes, treating the water that moves the clay. Sometimes the answer is drainage, not piers, and we'll say so.
Learn more →Lifetime Warranty
Every pier we set is covered for the life of the structure, and the warranty transfers to the next owner. Real documentation you can hand a buyer.
Learn more →Project Takeover
Another contractor started your repair and never finished, or vanished? We re-inspect, give you a written plan, finish it with our own crews, and document the work.
Learn more →Warranty Takeover
Foundation company gone or won't honor its warranty? We re-inspect, give drainage and home-care recommendations, return yearly to check performance, and warranty our work.

Under-slab tunneling & access excavation.
Under-slab tunneling and access excavation for plumbing, foundation, and structural repairs. When a sewer line, slab leak, interior pier, or engineer’s evaluation sits under a concrete slab, we tunnel in from outside instead of jackhammering finished floors, then back-fill clean. We sell the access, not the licensed pipe work: your plumber stays the plumber.
Because we come out of foundation repair and have dug alongside plumbers for years, we know how to dig it, and how much room a plumber needs to set a fitting and work comfortably. Held to velocity, precision, OSHA safety, quality control, and Texas 811 standards.

Steel vs. concrete vs. hybrid.
The right system depends on the structure, the soil, and the movement pattern. Here's how the three pier methods line up, all backed by the same lifetime transferable warranty. For the premium, load-certain option, see our steel pier foundation repair page.
Foundation risk by ZIP
