G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair

What G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair does

G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair is a family-owned foundation repair contractor founded in 1987 and headquartered at 3932 Benbrook Highway in Fort Worth, Texas. The company provides residential and commercial foundation repair, house leveling, and pier installation using concrete piers, steel hybrid piers, steel piers, TexJack systems, and Sonotube formwork, alongside concrete lifting via PolyLevel polyurethane foam injection, crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification, French and surface drainage, and sinkhole remediation. It also distributes the patented Slabsure foundation monitoring system as exclusive distributor in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio markets, where sensors installed below grade every 10 feet report positional changes hourly through a cloud-connected mobile app.

The business operates across five Texas metros (Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Waco/Temple) via 14 office locations, employing 11–50 staff. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time project-based contracts with free initial inspections and customized quotes, supplemented by recurring managed-services revenue from Slabsure monitoring. Average foundation repair projects run $4,000–$12,000, pier installation $1,000–$3,000 per pier, and pier & beam repair $5,000–$15,000, with financing available through third-party lenders.

G.L. Hunt employs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: phone-based intake, online estimate forms, local SEO across each service area, active presence on LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and earned-media coverage in Markets Insider, Yahoo Finance, AP, and Apple News. Field estimators are dispatched for on-site inspections, and a referral network of real estate agents, home inspectors, and insurance agents supplements direct lead flow. The company is family-controlled with no disclosed external capital, led by CEO Hayden Slack (named to Fort Worth Magazine's 2026 '40 Under 40'). Under Slack, Austin revenue reportedly doubled and San Antonio revenue grew 40% as the footprint expanded to five markets.
