Editorial Review
Our Take on Duratech Texas Foundation Repair
Duratech is a foundation company that treats drainage as part of keeping a Houston slab stable, and its reviews support the foundation work far more than any waterproofing. Pick it when water around the house is feeding clay movement, and look elsewhere for interior drains or sump pumps.

Company Background
About Duratech Texas Foundation Repair
From its office on Hempstead Road in the Fairbanks and Northwest Crossing area of Houston, Duratech Texas Foundation Repair sends out crews whose drainage visits start with a simple question about where the water goes. The inspector looks at how rain moves around the slab, whether downspouts discharge close to the foundation, and whether a large tree is pulling moisture from the soil beside the house. The crew then does the work listed on the company's drainage page: regrading so water runs away from the house, extending downspouts, fixing gutters, installing surface and channel drains, and setting vertical root barriers between trees and the slab.
It helps to be clear about what this company is. Duratech is a family-owned foundation repair firm, founded in 1999, and drainage is its way of protecting the clay under a house. Its site states that it does not install French drains, and the drainage page does not mention interior drain tile, sump pumps, crawl space encapsulation or wall sealing. Most Houston homes sit on slabs, so the usual trouble is clay swelling and shrinking under the slab, which is the problem this company is built around. The site gives price ranges of $500 to $1,500 for gutter and downspout fixes, $1,500 to $5,000 for regrading and $2,000 to $5,000 for root barriers, with a written estimate after a free site visit.
Reviewers write mostly about foundation jobs. They thank Mitchell and Frank by name, credit Pedro with steady updates, and one says Doug kept them informed during a warranty repair. Another reviewer finished a three-day job in two. One four-star reviewer had initial concerns before a warranty repair, and said later communication addressed them. The owner is Greg Gottwald, and the foundation warranty is lifetime and transferable, though the site gives no warranty terms for drainage work. Financing runs through Hearth, with 0% interest for up to 18 months.
The rating is 4.8 from 96 Google reviews, read October 21, 2026. Texas has no state waterproofing licence. Plumbing work falls under the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners at tsbpe.texas.gov, and City of Houston permits apply where required, so check any plumber there and ask about permits. Duratech suits owners who want drainage fixes paired with a structural assessment. It suits less well anyone who needs interior drains, a sump pump or wall waterproofing. Before booking, ask who performs the drainage work, what is warranted, and whether the scope is written into the estimate.
Foundation repair is the core of Duratech's business. Owner Greg Gottwald's crews level slab foundations across Houston, and recent reviewers praise Mitchell, the cleanup after leveling jobs and an inspection done by the owner himself. One property owner said the company has repaired foundations on several of their houses with the same follow-up each time. The foundation warranty is lifetime and transferable. Texas has no state licence for foundation repair, so ask for an engineer's letter on the pier plan. 4.8 from 101 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026.

Duratech Texas Foundation Repair FAQs
Is Duratech Texas Foundation Repair licensed in Houston?
The company says it is licensed and insured and BBB accredited since 2021, but its site gives no licence number. Texas has no state waterproofing licence, so there is nothing to look up for that trade. Plumbing work falls under the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners at tsbpe.texas.gov, and City of Houston permits apply where required. Ask for proof of insurance and the permit plan in writing before work starts.
What are Duratech's hours and does it do emergency drainage calls?
Google lists Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, closed weekends, while the company's contact page says 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with Saturday by appointment. Call (713) 849-4040 to confirm. The site does not advertise emergency or 24-hour service, so this is a better fit for planned drainage and foundation work than for a flooded-house call.
Does Duratech offer a warranty or financing, and where does it work?
Foundation repair carries a lifetime transferable warranty, but the site states no warranty terms for drainage work, so ask for them in writing. Financing is offered through Hearth, including 0% interest for up to 18 months, and estimates are free. The company serves Houston and nearby areas such as Jersey Village, Cypress, Katy, Tomball, Spring, Bellaire, Pearland and Sugar Land.
