Slab foundations

  • What causes slab foundation problems in Texas?

    Slab foundation issues in Texas are commonly caused by a combination of local soil characteristics and climatic conditions. The state's expansive clay soils can swell when wet and shrink when dry, leading to ground movement. Factors contributing to slab foundation problems include:


    • Soil expansion and contraction due to moisture fluctuations.
    • Poor drainage causing water to pool near the foundation.
    • Large trees near the foundation drawing moisture from the soil.
    • Plumbing leaks beneath the slab.
    • Inadequate site preparation or soil compaction during construction.
  • What are my options for slab foundation repair?

    Options may include mudjacking, installing piers, or employing a full slab replacement depending on the severity of the problem.

  • How can I tell if cracks in my floor or walls are related to slab foundation issues?

    While minor cracks can appear in homes as they settle over time, certain crack patterns may indicate slab foundation problems. Be on the lookout for:


    • Horizontal cracks or those wider at the top than the bottom.
    • Cracks that are wider than 1/8 inch.
    • Cracks where one side is higher than the other.
    • Repeated or expanding cracks.
    • Cracks appearing alongside doors or windows that stick or don't close properly.

    If you notice any of these signs, it's recommended to consult with a foundation specialist for a thorough assessment.

  • Can slab foundation issues impact my home's plumbing?

    Yes, problems with a slab foundation can directly impact plumbing, especially if the plumbing runs beneath the slab. As the foundation shifts, it can put pressure on the plumbing lines, leading to leaks or breaks. Conversely, plumbing leaks beneath the slab can exacerbate foundation problems by adding moisture to the soil, causing it to expand. It's crucial to address both plumbing and foundation issues simultaneously to ensure a comprehensive solution.
