Texas clay soil is shifty, expanding when saturated and contracting when dry. Because of this, many Texas homes and their foundations are prone to shifting over time. When settlement, movement, or shifting strikes, call Precision Foundation Services. Our team delivers quality foundation repair that restores stability and peace of mind for years to come. Keep reading to learn how our different foundation repair services work and how to recognize when your home may need them.
Do I Need Foundation Repair?
You may not notice changes in your home if you don’t know what to look for. Homeowners should keep an eye out for these common signs of foundation damage:
- Sinking Floors: Uneven or sinking floors may be the first indication that your foundation has shifted. You might notice flooring that feels sloped or soft underfoot, gaps where the floor meets the wall, or sections where the flooring has come loose.
- Cracks: As a foundation settles, cracks can form in multiple areas of the home. Watch for new or worsening cracks in concrete floors, walls, or the foundation itself. Foundation cracks can appear in brick or cinder block mortar, wood beams, or concrete slabs.
- Doors and Windows: Doors or windows that no longer close properly may signal foundation movement. You might find that doors stick when opening or closing, or that gaps appear between the frame and the wall.
- Plumbing Leaks: Plumbing leaks also threaten foundations, leaving behind water damage, mold, and washing away supporting soils. If you recently had a plumbing leak or suspect one, your foundation could be at risk.
Foundation Repair from Precision Foundation Services
Here at Texas Precision Foundation Services, we offer a full suite of foundation repair services that can be customized to meet your home’s unique needs. Here is how each method works:
- Foundation Piers: During pier installation, the perimeter of your home is carefully excavated, and piers are attached to the foundation. These piers are then hydraulically driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil layers that can support your home. We offer helical piers, steel foundation piers, drilled bell-bottom piers, and concrete piers. Our team will help you determine the best system based on your foundation type, soil conditions, and the extent of damage.
- Polyurethane Injection: A quick, minimally invasive method used to lift and stabilize homes affected by minor settlement or voids in the soil. The process involves drilling small holes in the foundation or surrounding soils, depending on where the problem lies. Through these points, a liquid polyurethane is injected beneath your home, where it expands on contact, filling voids and lifting settled areas back to grade while being carefully monitored by our team.
If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs or suspect your home’s foundation may be shifting, don’t wait for the damage to worsen. Texas Precision Foundation Services provides expert inspections and long-lasting repair solutions backed by experience and trusted techniques.
