Foundation Repair in Decatur, TX

Review Logo 4.9 (283)

Your foundation is directly influenced by the soil it rests upon, and in Decatur, the predominant clay soil can lead to significant structural challenges. With an average annual precipitation of about 32 inches, this moisture causes the clay to swell and exert pressure on your foundation, which can initiate a cycle of shifting and cracking. When the soil eventually dries out, it shrinks, leading to further movement and potential damage to your home's foundation. Homeowners should be vigilant for signs such as cracks in walls, uneven floors, or gaps around windows and doors. FSS offers effective foundation repair solutions designed to stabilize and protect your home.

Foundation repair requires a deep understanding of the local soil and environmental factors that can impact a home's foundation. In Decatur, the expansive clay soils are prone to significant changes with moisture fluctuations, contributing to foundation issues that require specialized expertise. Our team at FSS is equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to address these challenges effectively, ensuring your foundation remains secure against the unpredictable Texas climate.

Types of Foundation Damage in Decatur

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Decatur

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
