Foundation repair in north Austin & Williamson County
Most homeowners here are dealing with movement related to expansive clay, drainage, plumbing leaks, or a mix. Repair methods depend on the structure (slab vs pier-and-beam), the pattern of movement, and what an inspection finds — not a one-size slogan.
This independent website connects homeowners with one participating local foundation specialist who performs inspections and repairs. We are not the contractor.
What “repair” usually means
- Stabilize — transfer load to deeper, more stable soil (e.g., piers) when settlement is the issue.
- Adjust / relevel — especially relevant on pier-and-beam homes.
- Address water — grading, drainage, or plumbing leaks that keep soil cycling.
- Monitor — sometimes the honest answer is watch-and-wait with documentation.
We do not sell a method from this page. Method choice belongs to the inspecting specialist (and, when appropriate, an engineer). Soil & Slab is here to help you get a clear inspection path.
Slab vs pier-and-beam
| Type | What homeowners often notice | Inspection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Slab-on-grade | Cracks, sticking doors, floor slope | Elevation readings, crack mapping, moisture clues |
| Pier & beam | Bouncy floors, crawlspace issues, uneven rooms | Piers, beams, shims, crawlspace moisture |
