How Slab Foundation Repair in Tyler, TX Works
For concrete slab repair, we dig holes under and around the house’s foundation to insert heavy-duty support piers. This supports the home so that it is stable again.
After the foundation is repaired and secured, we will restore the landscaping to look like it did before we started. The cracks in your walls or along your brick will shrink significantly. Your home will be fully restored, and all the signs of foundation problems will be minimized or erased when we are finished.

What causes foundation issues in Tyler, TX & East Texas?
Foundation repair in East Texas is typically required when the ground beneath your house shifts and changes over time. This is usually due to changes in the amount of moisture in the soil. This is especially a problem in East Texas, where the local red clay in the region can significantly affect houses in the area.
If the soil beneath one section of your home dries out, the ground may shrink, leaving that part of your house unsupported. On the other hand, if the soil beneath your house retains too much moisture without draining correctly, the ground may swell, pushing that section of your home up.
In both cases, your home's foundation is no longer evenly supported, which can cause some sections to sag down and cause cracks in the foundation.
