Foundation Repair Services in Austin, TX

Why Austin Homeowners Choose Us for Foundation Repair

Austin sits on some of the most problematic soil in Texas. The black clay soil that covers much of Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties expands when wet and shrinks when dry, creating a constant push-pull cycle on your home's foundation. Long droughts followed by heavy spring rains accelerate this movement, and homes in South Austin, Oak Hill, and Circle C are especially prone to foundation shifting. Cracks in drywall, sticking doors, and uneven floors are the first warning signs.

We perform both pier and beam foundation repair and concrete slab leveling across the Austin metro. For slab foundations, we install pressed steel piers or drilled concrete piers driven to stable bedrock or load-bearing strata below the active soil zone. For pier and beam homes common in older Austin neighborhoods like Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, and Old West Austin, we replace deteriorated cedar posts with concrete piers, re-shim beams, and sister damaged joists.

Every foundation repair starts with a free, detailed inspection. We use a digital manometer to measure floor elevation across your entire slab, document crack patterns in walls and brick veneer, check door and window alignment, and assess drainage around the perimeter. You receive a written report with our findings, a recommended repair plan, and a firm quote before we touch anything.

Drainage is half the foundation equation. Even after piers are installed, poor drainage will continue to cause soil movement and foundation stress. We install surface drains, French drains, and gutter downspout extensions to move water away from your foundation. Proper moisture management around the perimeter of your home is the single most effective way to prevent future foundation problems in Austin's clay soil.
