Foundation Issues Are Extremely Common in DFW
North Texas sits on expansive clay soil — the same soil that makes foundation movement one of the most common home defects in the DFW area. In cities like Richardson, Garland, Irving, and McKinney, foundation issues affect a significant percentage of homes built before 2000. If your home has foundation cracks, sticking doors, or sloping floors, you’re far from alone.
What a Traditional Sale Looks Like with Foundation Issues
When you list with an agent, the buyer’s inspection will flag foundation issues. Then comes the negotiation: buyers typically request either (1) a price reduction equal to or greater than the repair cost, or (2) you fix it before closing. Foundation repairs in DFW typically cost $8,000–$25,000 depending on the method (piers vs. drainage vs. mudjacking). Deals regularly fall apart when buyers can’t get financing approved on homes with active foundation issues.
