Foundation Repair in Friendswood, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (180)

Homes in Friendswood typically feature concrete slab or pier and beam foundations, both of which are vulnerable to the effects of the area's clay soils. During prolonged dry spells, the clay can shrink, creating gaps beneath the foundation, while heavy rains can cause the soil to swell and exert upward pressure. At FSS, we provide expert foundation repair services, including pier systems, to restore and protect your foundation from these damaging soil movements.

Foundation repair in Friendswood requires a keen awareness of the local soil characteristics and their impact on structural integrity. The expansive clay soils prevalent in Texas are known for their unpredictable swelling and shrinking, which can lead to serious foundation issues. With our specialized knowledge and experience, FSS is well-equipped to offer solutions that address these challenges, ensuring your home remains stable and secure over time.

Types of Foundation Damage in Friendswood

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Friendswood

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.
