About Slab Foundation Repair
A slab-on-grade foundation is a single concrete pad poured directly on the ground. When the soil beneath part of that slab shrinks or loses support, that section can drop relative to the rest of the home.
Slab repair typically uses piers — commonly steel pressed piers or concrete pressed pilings — installed at intervals along the affected perimeter or interior beam lines. The piers transfer the load of the foundation down to deeper, more stable material.
Once piers are in place, hydraulic equipment is used to stabilize the slab and, where it can be done safely, recover elevation. Not every home can be returned to perfectly level; the goal is a stable, improved foundation without causing new damage.
Signs you may need this service
One area of the home noticeably lower than the rest
Cracks in the slab, tile, or flooring along a consistent line
Exterior brick cracks that widen toward the top
Doors out of square in only one part of the house
Gaps appearing under baseboards
Seeing one of these doesn't automatically mean repair is required. An on-site evaluation is the only way to know — and sometimes the honest answer is that no work is needed.
How the work generally goes
- 01
Elevation survey
Floor elevations are measured throughout the home to map where the slab has moved and by how much.
- 02
Pier layout
Pier locations are planned along the beams that need support, based on the survey and the structure.
- 03
Excavation and installation
Access holes are dug at each location and piers are driven to load-bearing capacity.
- 04
Lift and stabilize
Hydraulic jacks raise the foundation gradually and evenly to the extent it can be safely recovered, then the piers are locked off.
- 05
Backfill and cleanup
Holes are backfilled and the site is cleaned up.
Benefits of addressing it early
Stops the affected section from continuing to drop
Often improves door, window, and floor performance
Reduces stress on plumbing lines running through the slab
Protects the finishes and masonry you've already paid for

Frequently asked questions
Will my cracks close up after the repair?
Some cracks tighten noticeably when elevation is recovered, and some do not. Cosmetic repair of drywall, paint, tile, or masonry is usually handled separately after the foundation work.
Do I need to move out during the work?
Most homeowners stay in the home. There is noise and activity around the exterior, and interior pier locations require access to those rooms.
Steel piers or concrete pressed pilings — which is better?
Both are widely used in North Texas and both can work well. The right choice depends on soil conditions, depth to stable bearing, access, and the structure itself. We'll explain which we recommend for your home and why.
How much will my repair cost?
Cost depends on the size of the home, the type of foundation, how much movement has occurred, and the method used. The only accurate way to know is an on-site evaluation. Our estimates are free and we put the scope in writing before any work begins.

Yes. We'll come out, look at the property, take measurements where needed, and explain what we see in plain language — including when we believe no repair is necessary.
