Home / Houston Slab Foundation Repair
With the expansive soil in Houston and across Texas, homeowners are noticing more and more evidence
around their homes of slab foundation failures. Are you seeing such symptoms as wall cracks or cracks
through your tile floor? It may be time to contact a Houston slab foundation repair company that can
provide the necessary repairs to fix your structural issues.
Once your slab foundation has been evaluated and the problem is identified, a repair solution is needed.
When a foundation settles, it needs to be lifted back to its existing position or as close to level as safely
possible. The main thing to remember is that we want the movement downward to stop, and the foundation
to be stabilized.
Our Concrete Slab Foundation Repair
Process
The type of foundation repair system most widely installed in Houston and throughout Texas is pressed
concrete piers or cylinders. The concrete cylinders can be solid or have 5/8” holes in the middle of them.
Some competitors say that they use the hole to install a cable or a piece of steel to keep the cylinder aligned
as they press them in. This is mostly a marketing idea to differentiate themselves from other foundation
repair companies. As most engineers will explain that the hole in the concrete cylinder actually weakens the
cylinder. The hole can actually provide an avenue for surface water to penetrate to the bottom of the
pressed cylinder causing failure. We only use solid concrete piers, and install these very accurately with
great success.
Concrete piers are pressed into the soil using the weight of the structure as resistance. As the cylinders are
pressed down, another cylinder is placed on top of the first. This process continues until the cylinders are
pressed to absolute refusal. This is achieved by either hitting a hard soil formation or when the weight of the
structure cannot push them any further. This type of pier works by surface friction of the soil that they have
penetrated. Concrete cylinders are placed directly under the foundation beams and can be installed under
the interior portion of the structure as well. Interior beams can be accessed by cutting holes in the interior of
the foundation, or by tunneling under the foundation. Many times only the exterior beams need pressed
concrete piers. Because these piers are less expensive to install, more piers per job can be afforded.
Remember, your home is a slab-on-grade foundation. When it is raised by foundation repair, it is now an
elevated slab. The more point loads of contact you provide, the less the span deflection across the entire
structure, which is a good thing. Each pier is pressed, bearing many times the weight it will actually carry.
Multiple piers will share the entire load simultaneously when all the concrete piers used are in place. This is
why this system is applicable to so many different situations.
