Foundation Settlement Repair in Austin, TX.

Looking for foundation settlement repair in Austin? Here’s why local slabs move — and exactly how we fix them.

Common foundation problems in Austin

Across Austin, the calls we get most involve a visibly low corner, diagonal cracks above openings, and a gap opening at the ceiling. They almost always trace back to the ground beneath the slab.

• Doors and windows that stick, drag, or won’t latch
• Stair-step cracks in exterior brick or block
• Sloping, bouncy, or visibly uneven floors
• Drywall cracks fanning from door and window corners
• Gaps opening between walls, trim, and the ceiling
• Cracks in the slab or at the garage floor

Why slab foundations move in Austin

Notorious 'Austin clay' east of MoPac; thin soils over limestone to the west. When that ground cycles between wet and dry, a slab cast on it moves too — and surface patches move right along with it.

Why GroundLock uses steel piers

Settlement is the slow sinking of part of the slab as the soil beneath it shrinks. We measure the dropped zone, drive steel piers to stable strata beneath it, and lift it back toward level.

Drainage, grading & moisture control
