◉ Fixing Uneven Foundations: Home Leveling Explained

We use cutting-edge foundation leveling methods, including:

◉ Pier & Beam Foundation Repair: A Specialized Approach
Many homes in San Antonio, TX have elevated pier and beam structures, which are vulnerable to humidity and timber decay. Unlike solid slab foundations, these systems feature an open crawl area, making them exposed to soil instability and decay.
Our pier & beam foundation repair services include:
➤ Replacing damaged wooden beams to reinforce the foundation
➤ Aligning pier structures to correct uneven settling
➤ Enhancing moisture control to keep water from accumulating under the home
By repairing pier and beam problems early, you safeguard your property from worsening deterioration.
◉ Minimizing Disruption with Under-Slab Tunneling
One of the most effective ways to fix foundation home foundation repair issues without tearing up floors is under slab tunneling. This technique allows technicians to access plumbing or structural issues beneath a concrete slab.
The process involves:
➤ Excavating an access point under the house to access the foundation safely
➤ Completing essential under-slab work, such as correcting foundation shifts and water leaks
➤ Backfilling and compacting the tunnel to maintain foundation strength
This method minimizes disruption, reduces dust and debris inside the home, and ensures efficient repair completion.
