Slab Foundation Repair

Common Slab Foundation Problems We Solve

Slab foundations face unique challenges that differ significantly from pier and beam systems. The most frequent issues we encounter include concrete cracking due to soil movement, uneven settling that creates floor slopes, and moisture-related problems that can weaken the concrete over time. Texas clay soil is particularly notorious for expanding and contracting with moisture changes, putting tremendous pressure on concrete slabs.

Interior signs often appear first – doors that stick, windows that won’t open properly, or visible cracks in walls and ceilings. Outside, you might notice cracks in your driveway, sidewalks, or exterior walls. These symptoms typically indicate that your slab is responding to changing soil conditions beneath your home.

Our Proven Slab Repair Methods

Every slab foundation repair begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your specific situation. Our experienced technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to measure elevation changes and identify the root cause of your foundation problems. This thorough assessment ensures we recommend the most effective and cost-efficient solution for your home.

For minor settling issues, we often employ slab lifting techniques using polyurethane foam injection. This method is minimally invasive, typically completed in a single day, and provides immediate results. The expanding foam fills voids beneath the slab and lifts it back to proper elevation while creating a stable base for long-term support.
