Understanding Concrete Slab Foundations

Concrete slab foundations are a popular choice for homes in Texas due to their strength and performance. These foundations are essentially large pads made of structurally reinforced concrete with built-in beams that extend below the surface, providing a stable base for the structure.

However, the expansive clay soils found throughout Texas can cause significant problems for slab foundations. These soils expand when wet and contract when dry, creating movement that can lead to cracks, uneven settling, and other structural issues.

Common Signs of Foundation Problems

Homeowners in Texas should be aware of the common signs indicating potential foundation problems. These may include visible cracks in the walls or floors, doors and windows that no longer open or close properly, and uneven or sloping floors.

Repair Methods for Concrete Slab Foundations

• Concrete Pier: Concrete Pilings are our most economical option. These systems consist of concrete segments pressed to refusal and are the most commonly used piers in the industry. It is important to note that these piers’ performance is friction based, meaning the soils and moisture content will play a key role in the long-term performance of the lift. Due to the nature of this pier type, additional adjustments should be expected.
• Composite Pier: Composite Piers are a combination of concrete piers and interlocking steel pier segments. This pier type is great for partial lifts where only a portion of the home requires stabilization or lift. The perfect blend of performance and cost effectiveness for such projects.
• Helical Steel Pier: Also known as a “Screw Pile”, Helical Piers offer a versatile solution for many stabilization projects. Great for structures that do not have enough weight to drive other types of piers into the ground. Helical Piers can also be installed on unfinished homes that are already showing signs of movement. Helical Piers require a much larger work area clearance for the installation; However, installation can be done in a fraction of the time as other pilings.
• Drilled Pier: Drilled Piers, like Helical Piers, are a great solution for structures which do not have enough weight to drive other types of piers into the ground. For Drilled Piers, the location is excavated to the specified depth and width before steel reinforcements are installed and concrete is poured. Once cured, the structure is then adjusted to the desired final elevation.
• Cable-Anchored Steel Pier: Cable-Anchored Steel Piers consist of interlocking steel segments that are driven to refusal to provide the optimal stabilization solution. Steel Piers can reach further depths and sustain a higher load; this means Steel Piers are able to reach below the Active Zone and provide greater performance as compared to other pier types.
