Did you know there are three common types of concrete slab foundations? T-shaped, Slab-on-grade foundation, and frost protected; the type used usually depends on frost depth of the soil. In San Antonio, foundation repairs are most often of the concrete slab variety. Slabs are useful building elements that comprise the foundation base, and are usually reinforced with steel beams that run through lengthwise. When a concrete pad is poured over reinforcing rebar, it forms a solid foundation which replaces crawlspaces. However, upheaval, settling, and shifting piers can result in moisture permeating your building, eventually causing foundation cracks and entrances for bugs and small animals. If cracks are larger than 1/16th of an inch, consult a contractor specializing in slab foundation repair.

San Antonio’s metropolitan area is home to 2.2 million people, and growing fast. If you own a home or business in San Antonio or are looking to buy real-estate, our foundation repair company can provide crucial information about the property’s foundation and advice on maintenance strategies and repair costs for slab foundation repairs.

When a foundation is constructed, it is created to bear the weight of a load (floors, siding, roofing) evenly. Over time, environmental factors such as erosion, soil conditions, leaks, and even tree roots can wreak havoc not anticipated in the design specifications and cause an imbalance in one or more places. Usually, the result is sinking in one end or in multiple areas, indicating a structural issue. Methods for house leveling and foundation repair in San Antonio is first dependent on the foundation type. Slab foundation houses involve exterior excavation, use of piers or pilings and jacking, while crawl space foundation houses might require pilings to be installed under current piers. Other advanced foundation repair techniques, such as adding chemical solutions, can also help by filling in foundation cracks or stabilizing soil conditions.

It is extremely risky for non-professionals to attempt house leveling; a lot can go wrong! Total Foundation Repair San Antonio implements safe solutions that address causal factors, not just your uneven floors. Before further damage to your foundation occurs, consider our house leveling services.

Pier and beam foundations use concrete beams or wooden posts buried deep into the earth, as opposed to slab foundations that are in direct contact with the ground. The interior of a pier and beam foundation usually sits on several concrete bricks, which creates a 1-2 foot crawl space. Since the foundation is accessible via this space, pier and beam foundations are often easier and less expensive to repair. However, they are still susceptible to moisture caused by inadequate drainage, leading to rot or mold forming on wooden elements and foundation shifting. Sagging can also occur due to the improper spacing of beams.

Too often, these problems are overlooked or ignored. It’s a good idea to consult a foundation expert every 5-10 years depending on the age of your home, even if you don’t suspect any problems. At Total Foundation San Antonio, we provide this service for you and recommend any remediation that might be necessary for pier and beam foundations repairs.
