The purpose of Slab foundations is to rise and fall with fluctuating soil conditions. In Texas, the constant shrinking and swelling of soils puts a lot of pressure on slabs and this may lead to failure. Repairing a settling slab is critical to protecting the structural stability of your home. 

 

Does my house have Foundation Slab Failure?

 

If your house has concrete slabs on top of soil, and there are flowerbeds and trees close, your property has a high probability of foundation deficiency. You are also vulnerable to foundation problems if your home is located in warm and dry regions with very shallow footings.

 

Something that you could do to determine whether or not your slab is damaged is to look at the flooring inside of your house. If it’s cracked or uneven, the slab supporting your house might be suffering from settlement.

 

These are also some indications of slab failure:

 

• Internal sheetrock cracking

• Sticking doors and windows

• External brick cracking
