Slab foundation repair Houston TX

Why Houston Slabs Fail

Almost every Houston home built after 1960 sits on a concrete slab. Houston's expansive clay soil shrinks dramatically in dry weather — pulling away from the edges of your slab and leaving it unsupported. When the soil swells again after rain it pushes unevenly, causing the slab to crack and sections to sink or heave.

Warning Signs Your Houston Slab Needs Repair

Diagonal cracks at door and window corners are the classic Houston sign. Also look for doors that suddenly stick or swing open on their own, floors that slope noticeably (you can feel it walking), gaps between walls and the floor or ceiling, and cracks in your exterior brick or stucco. These signs get worse every dry season.

How We Repair Houston Slab Foundations

We install pressed concrete piers or steel piers beneath your slab, driven down to stable soil layers far below the problem clay. Once the piers are in place we use hydraulic jacks to lift the slab back toward its original level — closing cracks and re-opening doors. The process is remarkably clean with minimal excavation.
