When a House Needs Leveling
House leveling corrects uneven floors that come from foundation settlement. Signs include floors that slope or feel bouncy, doors and windows that stick, gaps at trim and cracks in drywall or brick. In Texas, these problems usually trace back to expansive clay that moves with the weather, or to moisture problems around the foundation.

How We Level a House
Leveling starts with elevation readings to see how far and where the floor has dropped. For slab homes we lift low sections with foam, grout or piers. For pier-and-beam homes we add or replace piers, shim and, where needed, repair beams. We lift in small steps to protect finishes and then re-check elevations.
Leveling will not hold if the cause is not fixed, so we also review drainage, gutters and leaks around the home. You get a written scope and upfront quote first.

Leveling is usually combined with other repairs. See slab foundation repair, pier and beam foundation repair, foundation pier installation and foundation settlement repair. To find out how much your floors have moved, start with a foundation inspection, or see our main foundation repair page.
Technician insight
How level a floor can get depends on how long it has been out of level and what the framing has done in the meantime. We tell you what improvement to expect before you decide.
A Typical Leveling Job
A common case is a house where the back half has dropped, leaving doors that swing open on their own. The usual path is an elevation survey, lifting the low section in small steps, supporting it, and fixing the drainage that contributed.
