Foundation Issues for Texas Homes

Homes in Texas are not immune to foundation issues. Pier and beam and slab foundations can each develop unique foundation issues that require professional evaluation and repair. Knowing some of the most common causes of these problems for Texas homeowners can help you know what to watch for.

Soil and climate are two of the primary contributing factors to foundation problems. Many Texas homes are constructed on clay soil, which is susceptible to expansion and contraction. When it is hot out (which it often is in Texas) the earth will begin to shrink and when it is cold, it will increase in volume. This results in the foundation being unstable and may create cracks.

Water is also a common issue. It is not uncommon for houses in Texas to have issues with their foundation due to excessive moisture. This is why contractors often work side by side with plumbers to perform hydrostatic pressure tests to find any signs of leaks. Invasive roots from trees and poor soil compaction can also cause a number of issues that can impact the foundation.

Avoid Issues with Foundations by Knowing the Most Common Causes

One of the best ways to avert any problems is to figure out what is causing them. If the concrete slab is cracked, it may mean the ground around the perimeter of the foundation is too dry. This is not an uncommon issue for Texas homes.

Too much moisture around the foundation can also be an issue. It can create damage or upheaval to the foundation. In these situations, not only will foundation repair be necessary, a drainage system will also have to be installed.
