Looking for foundation leveling in San Marcos? Here’s why local slabs move — and exactly how we fix them.

Common foundation problems in San Marcos

Across San Marcos, the calls we get most involve a floor that visibly slopes, doors out of square, and cracks that widen across a room. 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 San Marcos

Blackland clay east of I-35, right over the Balcones Fault — highly active heave. 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

Foundation leveling is precise elevation correction: we map the slab to ±⅛ inch, set the target elevation, and recover it on steel piers driven to stable strata — then re-survey to prove the result.
