Texas soils are highly expansive

Some causes of foundation problems

Evaporation
Hot dry wind and intense heat will often cause the soil to shrink beneath the foundation. This settlement may cause cracks to appear throughout the structure.

Transpiration
Tree roots may dessicate the soil beneath a home causing the soil to shrink and the home to settle.

Plumbing Leaks
Water from plumbing leaks is often a cause of foundation problems.

Drainage
Improper drainage is a leading cause of foundation failure. Excess moisture will erode or consolidate soils and cause settlement.

Inferior Foundation Construction
Inferior perimeter beams and insufficient steel in the concrete will contribute to movement in the slab.

Inferior Ground Preparation
Soft, low density soils and/or improperly compacted soil beneath a home is the leading cause of foundation failure. Cut and fill situations should be properly prepared before the soil is ready to support a structure.

Preventive measures can help save your foundation from experiencing problems and possible cracking!

Poor moisture maintenance has caused stress cracks in the interior at doorways and above windows throughout the structure.

Open cable ports at base of foundation, not being sealed can cause problems and crack slabs
