How do hot summers in Pharr affect slab foundations?

Extended heat causes soil to contract, creating voids that lead to settling and cracks in many local homes.

Which Pharr neighborhoods see the most foundation movement?

Downtown Pharr and South Pharr contain older slabs exposed to the valley's clay soils and moisture swings.

How do I know if a foundation crack is serious?

Cracks wider than a quarter inch, stair-step patterns in brick, cracks that keep growing or leak, and cracks with sticking doors or sloping floors should be inspected.

Can cracks be repaired from inside the home?

Many slab and wall cracks can be injected from the interior, which avoids digging up the yard.

Will repaired cracks come back?

They can if the soil or foundation keeps moving. That is why we look at the cause as well as the crack.

Which Foundation Cracks Matter

Not every crack is structural. Fine hairline cracks are common in concrete as it cures. Cracks that grow, run diagonally, are wider than about a quarter inch, leak water or appear together with sticking doors and uneven floors deserve a closer look. In Texas, seasonal clay movement is the most common reason cracks open and keep changing.
