Your foundation depends on the soil in your yard for support. As a result, anything that affects the soil will also affect your foundation. In Houston, most properties sit on clay-based soil. When clay absorbs water, it swells up and pushes your foundation out of line. Later, when clay dries, it shrinks and cracks, which causes your foundation to shift even more. This cycle leads to foundation problems, especially because Houston receives 53 inches of annual rainfall every year. Look out for floor and wall gaps, settlement and sinking, or drywall cracks. FSS has solutions designed to permanently protect against this type of damage. We use pier systems and support jacks to keep your foundation safe.
Foundation repair requires a deep understanding of the local soil and environmental factors that can impact a home's foundation. Texas is known for its expansive clay soils, which can experience significant swelling and shrinking due to moisture fluctuations. This soil movement often leads to foundation issues that require specialized knowledge and experience to address effectively.
