We Don’t Patch the House. We Fix What’s Under It.
Louisiana’s clay soil swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry. The Cable Lock™ system reaches past that moving layer, so your home stops riding it.

Proven over time
A Warranty That Outlasted a Hurricane.
We leveled this home’s foundation over two decades ago. When Hurricane Francine brought major flooding, the homeowner noticed one piling had shifted and called us. A crew was out the same day, repaired it, found several other pilings that needed attention, and honored the original warranty in full.

An Engineer’s Solution, Not a Sales Pitch.
Cable Lock Foundation Repair was founded in 1997 — before Hurricane Katrina, not after it — by David Knight, a professional engineer and certified arborist who designed and patented the Cable Lock™ system himself. We’re not a franchise, and we don’t license someone else’s technology.
