The Highest Quality Foundation Repair Company in Katy, Texas
Almost all concrete slab foundation damage in Texas is due to the movement of clay soils. Clay soils have the unfortunate ability to swell and shrink with changes in the moisture content of the soil. This movement is part of nature and it can easily move tons of soil and structures. The question for every homeowner in Texas is how sturdy is their slab foundation and can it resist the forces of soil movement. When the answer is “No” then the homeowner will discover cracks in the foundation, exterior brick walls, and / or interior walls. The greater the foundation damage then the more extensive the damage to the home or commercial structure. The goal of Katy Foundation Repair is to provide an understanding of the need for a stable and level means of support in the areas of need for the concrete foundation.
The homeowner can always obtain several options regarding foundation services. Many homeowners prefer a fast and lower cost foundation repair method. Low cost methods have significant limitations. Other construction techniques or methods will offer the homeowner significantly more benefits such as greater stability, more weight bearing capacity (5x to 10x greater), and permanence. Bell Bottom Piers offer homeowners the highest quality of foundation repair available in the state of Texas. The Bell Bottom Pier method requires more time, more labor, more concrete, more steel rebar, and more expense.
When considering a foundation contractor, ask them about;
- Do they perform a soil core test?
- At the end of the job, do they fill voids under the slab foundation?
- Do they obtain all necessary permits?
- Do they have more than 30 years experience in the foundation industry?
- Do they have the proper insurance to protect their workers?
- Does a supervisor visit prior to the start of a repair job?
- Do their construction techniques allow for greater Load Bearing Capacity? (Factor of Safety > 1)
- Do they offer tunneling, trenching, and plumbing services?
- Do they have excellent BBB ratings?
The homeowner has the desire for “peace of mind.” Foundation companies with 30+ years of experience with all types of foundations – slab on grade, post-tension, and pier & beam are few in number. Always ask for a complete elevation analysis and diagram of your home. If your home needs additional support then it should be clearly marked on the diagram and the options discussed.
Should you see warning signs of foundation movement then it is better to act now than later. Foundation damage never “gets better” on its own – it usually gets much worse given some time. Ask for High-Quality solutions and a solid, dependable company to back it up.
