Slab Foundation Repair
Many San Antonio homes sit on a concrete slab, and when the soil under part of the slab settles or swells, the slab can crack, tilt or sink. PermaJack Of South Texas repairs slab foundations with steel piers set to stable soil, so the slab is supported where the ground has moved. Call 956-200-1837 or request a complimentary estimate below.
Signs Of A Slab Problem?
→ What to look for. Cracks in the garage or interior floors, tile that cracks or lifts, a slab edge that has dropped away from the brick, floors that slope toward one side of the house, and doors and windows that bind. Hairline shrinkage cracks are common in concrete; cracks that widen, run from door corners, or come with uneven floors deserve a closer look.
→ Common causes. Soil that swells and shrinks with moisture, drainage that sends water to one side of the house, tree roots that pull water from the soil, and leaking pipes under the slab. A good repair plan considers the cause, not only the crack. If a plumbing leak is suspected, a leak test may be recommended.

How Slab Foundation Repair Works
Support where the slab has moved. Steel piers are placed beside the foundation down to a stable layer and connected to the footing with brackets. The inspection decides where piers are needed and whether the plan calls for additional support beyond the perimeter.
What repair can and cannot do. Piers stop the foundation from settling further and, where it is safe, raise low areas. They do not remove existing cracks in concrete or finishes; those are repaired separately. Related services: house leveling, steel pier foundation repair and foundation repair in San Antonio.
Questions to ask: what is causing the movement, how deep will the piers go, how will the slab be raised if it can be, and what will be done about drainage or leaks? Ask for the answers in writing.
Slab Foundation Common Questions
Is every crack in my slab a foundation problem?
No. Fine shrinkage cracks are common in concrete. Cracks that widen, line up with door corners, or appear with sloping floors are more likely to signal movement.
Can a slab be repaired without replacing it?
Often the foundation can be supported with piers rather than replaced, but the right repair depends on the soil, the extent of the movement and the condition of the slab.
Could a plumbing leak be involved?
Yes. A leak under the slab can wash out or soften soil. A plumbing test may be recommended.
