Three are in Williamson County and two are in Travis County, and two sit in Pflugerville. Together they hold 179 Google reviews, and the average rating is 4.0.

The city's rules are specific. The foundation repair permit is applied for through the city's online Permit Portal, and the city's page lists the fee as $125. The application needs an Assumption of the Engineer of Record letter and an engineered foundation plan carrying the engineer's seal and signature. Before the final inspection, a final engineered report must be uploaded to the permit record. Every contractor and subcontractor on a permit has to be registered with the city, and there is no registration fee or annual fee. Confirm the details with the city before work starts.

Homeowners do use the permit. In the eleven monthly city reports covering January through November 2025, Round Rock homeowners applied for 195 residential foundation repair permits. July had the fewest at 9, and August had 10.

The soil explains the demand. In a sample of 25 points around the centre of Round Rock, 15 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 11 of those were very high. Houston Black was the commonest soil series at 6 points, followed by Austin at 4 and Eckrant at 3. Clay at those ratings expands in wet weather and contracts in dry weather, and a house on top of it feels both. This is a sample of the area, not a reading for any one lot. Also, 2 of the 25 land points sat inside the floodplain on FEMA's national map. Check your own address on FEMA's flood map.
