Steel Pier Foundation Repair in Austin, TX.

Looking for steel pier foundation 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 settling corners, stair-step brick cracks, and doors that have racked out of square. 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

Galvanized steel piers are driven through the active clay to load-bearing strata until they reach refusal, so the home rests on steel instead of soil. Pressed-concrete and hybrid piers often stop inside the moving zone, which is why we install steel piers exclusively here.
