Looking for steel pier foundation repair in Terrell Hills? Here’s why local slabs move — and exactly how we fix them.
Common foundation problems in Terrell Hills
Across Terrell Hills, 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 Terrell Hills
Mature trees and clay soils combine to dry out and drop foundations. 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.
