Foundation Maintenance Solutions in San Antonio, TX

In other situations, lifting may not be necessary, but it may become a future requirement. By properly addressing the soil around the foundation of your home, performance can be enhanced, and downward settlement can be mitigated without installing piers right away.

One of the simplest solutions is proper and evenly distributed moisture levels around the home's foundation. Sprinklers systems and drip hoses or "soaker" hoses are simple solutions that can help provide the proper moisture.

Another solution that can be applicable to your foundation issues could be mitigated by installing proper gutters or adding extensions to downspouts where water is being improperly dispersed, causing pooling around your foundation.

Another problem that can be damaging to foundations is a plumbing leak under the slab. Usually caused by cracked drain lines, even small fractures where water is frequently running can cause heaving of the expansive Texas soils underneath your home. This heaving action can cause your foundation to rise in and around that localized break(s) in the line, adversely affecting your home's foundation performance. In some cases, we may recommend a hydrostatic plumbing test to determine the integrity of your plumbing lines.
