The most common problem sign of crawl space and foundation water problems is the presence of water. Both standing water and condensation are clear indicators that you have a breach somewhere which is allowing water to get in. Something as minor as humid or moist air can also become a major problem if ignored.
Another problem sign is efflorescence, a white flaky substance that accumulates on crawl space and foundation blocks and indicates moisture trapped inside. Musty smells and mold growth are other common issues we see in foundations and crawl spaces in Austin and the surrounding area.
Causes of Water Damage in Austin
Water can cause significant irreversible damage to the structural integrity of your building by weakening or rotting floor joists, timber piers, and other components of your property. Hydrostatic pressure is another concern because enough water can build up to the point that it causes your crawl space or foundation to crack. The damage caused by water will continue to grow worse, and the costs for repair will only go up the longer you wait.
Furthermore, water can promote the growth of hazardous mold and mildew and increase your overall electricity costs because your air conditioner will run longer to eliminate the rising humidity.
Waterproofing Solutions in Austin
When you waterproof your crawl space or foundation, you are taking a step to prevent damage in the future. At FSS, we utilize interior and exterior waterproofing solutions to provide the maximum amount of protection for your property.
Our exterior waterproofing solutions include curtain drains and drainage system extensions that keep water away from your home and out of your crawl space and foundation. We also offer interior waterproofing services such as vapor barriers, indoor drains, caulk, and waterproof coatings for added protection.
A wet foundation or crawl space should be of immediate concern because of all the hazardous conditions it can create. Everything from small cracks caused by hydrostatic pressure and poor drainage to expanding clay soil and poor construction can contribute to the presence of water in your foundation or crawl space. The only way to guarantee your property remains protected from the potential consequences of water is to install interior and exterior waterproofing solutions like the ones we offer.
At Foundation Support Specialists, our expert technicians have years of experience in the Austin waterproofing industry. You can count on us to identify the cause of your wet crawl space or foundation and implement the best possible solutions for your specific needs.

We had Jonathan Spinks with foundation support specialists come to our home and go over the foundation issues we are having.
He went through our home and took all the needed measurements and explained in detail what needs to be done to correct our foundation problems. He was very professional and took the time to ensure we understood the problem and what it would take to resolve problem.
This is a first class company and would recommend them to anyone needing foundation repairs.

My experience with the Foundation Support Specialists team was Outstanding! The entire process from initial inspection scheduling to actual inspection by Blake, to the resolution of my issue was seamless. Special kudos to the repair team Angel and Brady. They were very professional, thorough, positive, courteous, hard-working and fully committed to earning my full satisfaction.

Adam was an absolute joy. He was very informative and thorough. He provided answers to all my questions and took the time to help me understand the process. Adam is a great asset and has fabulous people skills. Because of Adam I am comfortable with the company and the process. Thank you Adam for sharing a bit of you with me. I am going to recommend you and FSS to my neighbors and friends.

The team was great, especially the leads Earle, Austin, and CJ. They give you a heads up on their ETA, introduce themselves and the plan to ensure they carry out the agreement you had with the first PoC who for me was Jarret Perkins. Also a very great guy as well who will ensure your questions and overall inquiries are taken care of before, during, and after the service!
The team who worked even took the time to save the plants that were near the work area and cut around the stone entrance I have so I can put it back together instead of making their lives easier and cut straight through that area of the home. They were even kind enough to seal a small chip in the driveway with the cement they used to close back the holes they made. Which by the way you can’t even see they even worked on due to how they were capable of cleaning and setting EVERYTHING back together.
After the service they themselves asked if there was anything else I needed taken care of, as well as were patient (after a long day of work) to answer any questions I had.
Still a day or two after the work was completed FSS called to make sure everything was no less than satisfactory. As well as ask you specific questions to ensure the team that came out executed what they were expected to the company’s standards and if not so they can review it in their next meeting. I could tell FSS strives to be the best and are always looking to improve. FSS truly cares for you and ensures you’re left feeling good about the service. They’ll take care of your home as if it were their own.

We had 8 piers replaced under out home by FSS. Clint S. Was our foreman and he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. Justin H and Jose N were also on the job and completed everything in a timely manner. They were able to lift the home and get everything much closer to level than before. Being aware of a lot of weight in the home and making sure not to damage anything inside was something the entire team was conscious of. Their tact and care was obvious. That being said, make sure to reread your contract and ensure that you're getting exactly what the salesman tells you, as we were slightly led astray and promised things verbally that weren't notated in the contract.

The Forman and crew (Cornell-foreman, Lee and Zero) were great. Showed up on time and kept us informed on progress. Kept the disruption to a minimum (the moved a lot of dirt) but returned to normal when completed.

For our foundation problem, we talked to nine foundation repair companies in the greater Houston area. Jacob Frick is a third generation foundation repair specialist. He is by far, the most knowledgeable estimator of them all. He was very accommodating with our tight schedule and went out of his way to give us the service we had requested from him. We wholeheartedly recommend Rick Dean Frick and Foundation Support Specialist (FSS) Company.

Had a Crack in my foundation going thru 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Foundation hadn't really moved so decided to do foam injection instead of piers and Jack's. On day of injection Kris and Angel called before showing up to give an ETA. Showed up early and explained all aspects of job to me and then got started. From start to finish was quick. Kris and Angel filled all holes to where you had to look real close to find them. Cleaned up area and left no mess at all. Very pleased with the professionalism of Kris and Angel and the job they did.

Everyone knows how this drought is affecting our roads, sidewalks and driveways. My driveway began sinking and when it was bad enough to trip a person making a delivery, I decided it was time to prevent a lawsuit by addressing the problem. Foundatiin Support Specialist came out and provided an estimate that included a 5 year warranty. We made an appt and they were on time and their staff was exceptionally professsional. The driveway started sinking again in a few months and after giving them a call they had a crew back out fixing the problem within the week. I would highly recommend this company for your foundation/driveway needs.

If you need foundation repair this is the company to call!
I would like to commend Jay and Karl for their professionalism and customer service while fixing the wrap around deck of my 20 year old home. I was late getting home and they had already consulted with my wife prior to starting work. When I got home I was greeted by Karl who gave me a quick rundown on how the work was going. Jay also showed me how they had already fixed the worst area of the deck and were stabilizing what remained. I felt I was in good hands because they were so happy in what they were doing and had such great attitudes about the work. Their enthusiasm in their job was refreshing to see.
I would also like to thank Ethan for coming out for the initial inspection and explaining how the job would go. Both Ethan and Jay explained the 5 year warranty and how it works.

Another company told me that my driveway slabs were too steep and that putting polyurethane under it to level it out would result in cracking the concrete, therefore they wouldn’t do it.On the other hand, Casey came out and thoroughly explained their process and reassured me that their guys have done worse driveways. I got a veterans discount on the project, and the 5-year warranty assured me that my investment is protected.On the day of work James and Austin came out and explained the project, got to work, checked up with me when they finished the fill, and then it was a quick couple of signatures. I really appreciate the fast work (1.5 hours from start to finish) and my driveway is so much nicer to drive and park on. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results!
