Slab Foundation Cracks

Don’t live with the stress of not knowing — get to the bottom of your foundation worries!

Second-To-None Slab Foundation Services

Many Texas homes are supported by concrete slab foundations. Over time, this material can wear or become damaged. This could be due to water exposure from a poorly graded lawn or contracting soil below your floorboards. No matter the cause, we’re here to stabilize your home!

At G.L. Hunt, we specialize in all areas of structural support — from homes to commercial spaces. We’re here for foundation repairs, crawl space repairs, drainage systems, gutter solutions and more. Our experts have you covered when you need reliable slab foundation inspections and repairs.

Does My Home Have A Concrete Slab Foundation?

Every house has a foundation, but not all foundations are the same. Constructing a slab foundation involves building your structure on top of a large piece of concrete — a literal slab. Your plumbing is designed to run below the slab and then travel vertically to your fixtures. 

It’s easy to tell if your home was built on a slab — you won’t have a crawl space beneath your floors. Slabs are some of the most common foundations for Texas homes, so our team is well-versed in inspecting and repairing them.

While concrete is a very strong and durable material, it is not invincible. With Texas’ long, drought-riddled summers and dynamic clay soils, many foundations shift or become damaged over time. That’s why you need a professional team on your side to help.

  • Sticking doors or windows
  • Cracks at corners of windows and doors

FAQs

What Is Foundation Repair?

Foundation repair involves the correction of structural issues within a building’s foundation. This can include addressing problems such as settling, cracks or unevenness. Common repair methods include underpinning, piering or slabjacking, which aim to stabilize and strengthen the foundation, ensuring the structural integrity of the entire building.

Professional assessment and timely repairs are crucial to prevent further damage and maintain your property’s value.

Can You Live In A House During Foundation Repair?

In many cases, residents can continue living in their homes during foundation repairs. However, the extent of the repairs and the specific construction methods employed can influence this.

Temporary inconveniences like noise, dust and restricted access to certain areas may be expected, but our reputable contractors will work to minimize disruptions to your daily life.

How Long Does Foundation Repair Take?

The duration of foundation repair depends on various factors, including the type and extent of the damage, the chosen repair method and the local climate. Minor repairs may take a few days, while more extensive projects could last several weeks.

It’s crucial to obtain a detailed timeline from your contractor during the assessment phase.

Should I Buy A House With Foundation Repair?

While it’s not uncommon to purchase a house with a history of foundation repair, it’s essential to assess the extent of the repairs. Obtain a detailed inspection report and consider consulting with a structural engineer to ensure the issues have been adequately addressed.

It’s advisable to proceed with caution and negotiate repairs or pricing accordingly.

Does Home Insurance Cover Foundation Repair?

Home insurance typically does not cover foundation repair caused by normal wear and tear. However, if the damage is a result of a covered peril — such as a sudden plumbing issue — your insurance may cover the repair costs.

It’s crucial to review your policy and consult with your insurance provider for specific details related to foundation repairs. You can also reach out to us for financing options!
