Foundation Repair in Humble, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (180)

Your foundation relies heavily on the soil in your yard for support. In Humble, homes typically rest on clay-based soil, which can be problematic due to its water absorption characteristics. With an average annual rainfall of about 52 inches, this clay can expand when wet, pushing your foundation out of alignment. Conversely, when the clay dries, it shrinks and cracks, causing further shifts in your foundation. Homeowners should be vigilant for signs of foundation issues, such as gaps in walls and floors, settlement, and drywall cracks. FSS provides effective solutions, including pier systems and support jacks, to ensure your foundation remains secure.

Foundation repair requires a deep understanding of the local soil and environmental factors that can impact a home's foundation. In Humble, the expansive clay soils are prone to significant fluctuations with moisture, leading to potential foundation damage. Engaging with experienced professionals is essential to address these soil movements and maintain the integrity of your home's foundation.

"We are doing some renovations to our house and decided that in order to do them, we finally needed to address the obvious foundation repairs necessary to do them correctly.  I performed a Google search for foundation repair companies in the Houston area.  Foundation Support Specialist was able to schedule me for that very same day. Brian E. was the field inspector assigned to give our house an inspection and estimate for foundation repair.  We received notification about 20 minutes prior to his scheduled time by text messages and a phone call, stating that he was on his way. Brian arrived precisely at his scheduled time and was courteous and friendly.  After he introduced himself and told us about his company Groundworks (formerly Foundation Support Specialist), he went over a checklist with us to get some history of our home.  Afterwards he explained how he would be inspecting our house and what exactly he was looking for.  He got to work and was very thorough and professional during his inspection.  He measured and drew up a scale diagram of our house, then proceeded to use his Ziplevel to take altitude measurements of the floor throughout our house.  His measurements showed that our foundation had sunk almost 2" on the NW corner of our house. He showed us a slideshow on why foundations settle, common practices to repair, and how Groundworks repairs foundations.  When he was done, he gave us 3 levels of estimates.  A minimal necessary repair, A mid range estimate, and a high end estimate that included extra piers on the SE corner to help support the opposite side of the slab from the repairs.  He explained what each level included and answered any questions we had.  Brian spent about 2 hours with us and all in all it was a pleasant experience.  We have 2 more companies coming out in the next week to give us estimates, and unless they use a similar pier into bedrock system and drastically lower price, we will most likely choose Groundworks for our repairs."

Types of Foundation Damage in Humble

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Humble

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.
