What causes foundation cracks in Irving homes?

Clay soil movement from summer heat and winter moisture changes often leads to settlement in Irving slabs.

How does weather affect slab repair timing in Irving?

Hot summers dry the ground while mild winters keep conditions workable for foundation repair throughout the year.

How do I know if my slab foundation needs repair?

Look for cracks in the slab, drywall or brick, doors and windows that stick, and floors that slope. One symptom alone does not always mean structural repair is needed, so an inspection is the best way to know.

What causes slab foundations to settle in Texas?

Expansive clay that swells and shrinks with moisture is the main cause. Plumbing leaks, tree roots and poor drainage can add to it.

Can a slab be lifted back to level?

Often, yes. Slab lifting or piers can raise settled sections, but how much improvement is possible depends on the slab and the amount of movement.

Slab Foundation Problems in Texas

Most Texas homes built since the 1970s sit on a concrete slab over expansive clay. The clay swells after heavy rain and shrinks during long dry spells, so parts of the slab can rise or drop unevenly. Over time that shows up as cracks in the slab or brick, doors and windows that stick, and floors that slope.
