How to Know When Your Home Needs Foundation Repair

Recognizing the early warning signs of foundation issues can save you time and money. Here are a few signs that could indicate you need foundation repair services:

  • Cracks in ceilings or walls, especially near doors or windows.
  • Uneven or sloping floors.
  • Windows or doors that do not close properly or stick.
  • Gaps between ceilings and walls or floors and walls.
  • Water pooling close to your home’s foundation.

If you notice any of these issues, it is essential that you act quickly. Delaying repairs can worsen the damage and increase the cost.

What Causes Foundation Issues?

Texas homeowners often face unique challenges when it comes to foundation stability. The primary culprit is the region’s expansive clay soil, which swells when wet and contracts when dry, causing significant stress on home foundations. Prolonged droughts followed by heavy rains exacerbate this issue, creating cycles of movement that can lead to cracks and shifting. 

Additionally, improper drainage, plumbing leaks, and the natural settling of a home over time can all contribute to foundation problems. Tree roots growing too close to the house can also absorb moisture from the soil, further destabilizing the foundation. Understanding these causes is the first step in addressing and preventing long-term damage.

Our Residential Foundation Repair Services

Here are some of the most popular methods we use for foundation repair that will restore your home’s stability:

Concrete Slab Foundation Repair

A common solution for homes with concrete slab foundations is to stabilize the foundation using concrete, steel, or helical piers, depending on the soil’s expansion, shrinkage, or issues with water drainage.

We use hydraulic equipment to install durable steel piers in load-bearing areas around your home. These piers act like permanent support beams, redistributing your home’s weight and gradually leveling any shifted areas over time. 

Pier and Beam Foundation Repair

We enhance the stability of older homes by carefully replacing or reinforcing damaged beams that support the structure and ensuring that the foundation’s pier system is appropriately adjusted.

Our process involves a thorough inspection to identify weak points, followed by precision work to restore strength and safety. By reinforcing critical structural elements and optimizing the foundation; we provide homeowners with peace of mind and a solid foundation for the future.

Drainage Solutions

When you see puddles of water near your home, it usually indicates a foundation issue caused by water damage. Proper water management through drainage corrections and waterproofing is crucial for homes in Texas. The expansive clay soil in the area retains water, causing it to swell and exert pressure on foundations. 

To address this problem, drainage solutions such as French drains, sump pumps, and surface drains can be implemented to divert water away from your foundation. We also apply waterproof coatings or membranes to the foundation walls to help prevent water infiltration. 

Root Barrier Installation

Install root barriers to protect your home’s foundation from damage caused by tree roots and soil disruption. These barriers are physical obstructions that prevent tree roots from growing too close to or underneath the foundation.

Directing root growth away from the structure minimizes the potential damage caused by intrusive tree roots seeking moisture. This is achieved by burying a plastic sheet underground, typically between a tree and the perimeter of the foundation. The barrier blocks root penetration, allowing roots to grow downward instead of sideways toward your home.
