Foundation Repair in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a Clark County town in Nevada. About 644,835 people live here, across roughly 240,462 households. Detached single family houses number 162,604, and 55 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied.
This town is served from our Lake Elsinore office, 212 miles away, which is the nearest one we run. Countywide, Clark County holds 561,287 detached single family homes and runs 57 percent owner occupied. This town accounts for about 26 percent of the county's housing. The county around it counts about 2,293,764 residents across 935,960 housing units. 79,134 homes went up in the 1990s, more than in any other decade, and the median build year is 1993. The Census puts Las Vegas at a median home value of $365,300 and a median household income of $66,356. 131,837 of those homes are lived in by their owners and 108,625 are rented. Homes built before 1980 make up 25 percent of the stock, 60,513 in all.
Population and housing figures: American Community Survey, by way of the Signature Media market data set.
What we fix
The USDA survey under Las Vegas reads sand and rates its shrink swell potential low. Ground that does not swell much can still move: it settles, and it moves fastest where water is allowed to collect against a footing.
What this looks like60,513 homes in Las Vegas were finished before 1980, back when a footing drain was optional and backfill was rarely compacted.
What this looks likeThe typical Las Vegas house dates to 1993, old enough that the ground under it has been through every wet spring and dry summer since.
What this looks likeLocal conditions
The mapped soil in Las Vegas is Canutio at about 60 percent of the survey, with Las Vegas alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 40 percent clay and 60 percent sand. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 2.7 percent here, which USDA reads as low shrink swell potential. Against 6 percent clay across Clark County, the city sample reads 40 percent. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the evaluation.
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1990s, 79,134 homes, around a median build year of 1993. The 60,513 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 25 percent of the housing here, 59,146 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. 69 percent of owner occupied homes here carry a mortgage, which is usually why a lender or an appraiser is the first to ask about a crack.

"Under Las Vegas the mapped soil is sand, rated low for shrink swell. Foundation repair here is not generic. It has to match what the ground is doing."
Our approach
Clay soil acts like a sponge under your house: it swells when it rains and shrinks through the dry months, and your foundation rides that movement year after year. Eventually the signs show up where you live, doors that stick, floors that slope, cracks that climb a wall in a stair step pattern. Dalinghaus Foundation Repair has repaired more than 2,000 foundations since brothers Brian and Brad Dalinghaus founded the company in 2011.
Every repair starts the same way: we measure. A floor elevation survey maps how your home sits before anyone recommends anything, so the fix matches the actual problem instead of a guess. When piers are the answer, we install galvanized steel helical or push piers and log the torque and depth on every one.
No band-aids, no pressure, and no work you do not need. That is what Never Settle means to us.

Tom came to inspect my foundation and some wall cracks I was concerned about. I felt like Tom was honest. He was professional and knowledgeable and did I mention honest? He didn’t try to upsell me and spent time explaining the entire process. This is an honest company.
I contacted Dalinghaus for a foundation inspection based on reviews, the added bonus was the inspection was free. Fearing the worst, Tom took time amd answered all questions. The honest feedback and time spent I would 100% recommend Dalingjaus. THANK YOU!
We had been having a variety of issues on our property and thought it was time to have a professional out to look. Although our issues were not foundational (thankfully!), Mark was extremely patient with us as we asked lots of questions. We didn't end up using the company but our experience with them was great and I think you would be in the right hands should you need any work done.

A straightforward path from free evaluation to completed repairs.
A specialist walks the structure, takes floor elevation measurements, and explains the failure mode.
Method, scope, and pricing, in writing. Warranty terms for your specific repair are spelled out in the estimate.
A Dalinghaus crew completes the installation with the site left cleaner than we found it.
Every home is different, so every estimate is written for the home in front of us. A free on site evaluation gives you a written estimate that reflects your specific scope, access, and conditions.
Foundation Repair pricing varies with depth, load, access, and soil. Typical residential jobs are estimated during the free on-site evaluation, and the written estimate spells out the method, scope and price. If site conditions change the work, the change is written and signed before it goes ahead.
If a home has purely cosmetic cracks with no structural movement, no door or window racking, and no floor slope, we will say so during the evaluation and recommend you wait or address the underlying cause first. If we cannot fix it right, we will not sell you a fix.
