Foundation Repair in La Porte, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (180)

Homes in La Porte, TX are often built on either slab or pier and beam foundations, which can be vulnerable to damage from the region's clay soils. The humid subtropical climate can lead to fluctuations in soil moisture, causing the clay to expand and contract. This movement can create gaps beneath your foundation, leading to settling or shifting. To combat these issues, Foundation Support Specialists employs advanced foundation repair techniques, including pier systems that stabilize and protect your foundation from further damage.

170 La Porte Foundation Repair Experts 5 Star Reviews

"This will be a follow-up 5 star review. FSS, now Groundworks, installed a seal system and a sump pump in our crawlspace in 2023. The back-up battery recently began to malfunction. The company sent Isaac to investigate. He was timely and spent a a couple of hours trouble shooting to make sure there were no other issues. Sure enough, he found an issue with the sump pump that was actually the underlying problem. He made the effort to return to his office, quite a distance from our house, to get the necessary parts to fix the problem and then returned to fix it. He also swapped out the battery which had become defective due to the underlying issue. It would have been easy for him to simply do the latter, and our problem would have persisted without us knowing it. This extra trouble-shooting effort made a difference, in other words. What also particularly pleased me was that Isaac was also the tech who had come to our house last spring - continuity matters, especially for a company like Groundworks-FSS. The facts speak for themselves as to the quality of the service. We are very pleased."

Types of Foundation Damage in La Porte

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in La Porte

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.
