What foundation trouble looks like.
Cracks in drywall or brick
Stair-step cracks in brick and diagonal cracks above doors are classic signs.
Doors & windows that stick
Frames shift out of square as the slab moves.
Sloping or uneven floors
A marble that rolls on its own is telling you something.
Gaps around trim
Separation at baseboards, crown molding or window frames.
30-second home check
Which of these have you noticed?
Tap every sign you've seen around your home. The drawing shows what that movement usually looks like — and you'll get an honest read on whether it's worth a free inspection.
Nothing checked yet
Tap the signs you've noticed. None at all? Great — keep an eye out after long dry spells, when clay shrinks the most.
This check isn't a diagnosis. Only elevation readings can confirm movement — and ours are free.
Measured, not guessed
Every repair starts with elevation readings.
We map how your home has moved with a full set of readings, then build a written plan that fixes the cause — not just the cracks you can see.
✓ Full elevation survey
✓ Written repair plan
✓ Re-check after repairs
Why it happens
Houston clay swells and shrinks.
Our expansive clay soil absorbs water and swells after heavy rain, then shrinks and cracks in drought. Your slab rides those cycles — and over time, it settles unevenly.
Wet season
Clay swells and pushes up.
Dry season
Clay shrinks and pulls away.
Repair methods

How it works

Settling slab homes

Steel piers
Heavier loads, deeper stable soil
Steel driven deeper for maximum support.
Pier & beam shimming
Older raised homes
Adjusting and replacing supports to level the floor.
Drainage correction
Preventing future movement
French drains and grading that keep soil moisture steady.

What are the signs of foundation problems?
Cracks in drywall or brick, doors and windows that stick, gaps around trim and sloping floors are common signs.
Why are foundation problems so common in Houston?
Our expansive clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which moves foundations over time.
Is the inspection free?
Yes. The inspection and written recommendation are free with no obligation.
Can drainage fixes help?
Often, yes. Managing water around the home reduces soil movement and protects repairs.
