Foundation Repair in The Colony, TX

Most homes in The Colony and across Dallas–Fort Worth are built on concrete slab foundations sitting on expansive clay soil. That clay swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries out. After a long, dry summer followed by heavy spring rain, the ground under one side of a house can move more than the other, and the slab moves with it.

Different Roofing provides foundation repair alongside our roofing work, because both protect the same investment. A solid roof keeps water out from above, and a stable foundation keeps the whole structure square and level.

Signs Your Foundation May Be Moving

• Interior doors that stick, swing on their own, or no longer latch
• Windows that are hard to open or show gaps at the corners
• Stair-step cracks in exterior brick or mortar
• Diagonal drywall cracks running from the corners of doors and windows
• Floors that slope, bounce, or feel uneven
• Gaps between baseboards, trim, or cabinets and the wall
• Cracks in the slab or tile floors that keep growing

One small hairline crack is not always a problem. Several of these signs showing up together, or cracks that get wider over a few months, are worth having evaluated.

How We Approach Foundation Repair

Every evaluation starts with a walk around and through the home to look at the slab, the brick, the doors and windows, and the drainage around the house. We look at how far and in which direction the foundation has moved, and what is causing it. Depending on what we find, repair may involve piers installed under the slab to support and lift the low areas, drainage corrections that move water away from the house, or both. We explain what we see in plain language and give you a written recommendation before any work begins.

Drainage, Gutters, and Your Foundation

Water management is one of the biggest factors in how clay soil behaves. Gutters that overflow or downspouts that dump water right next to the slab keep one side of the house wetter than the rest. Properly sized gutters with downspouts that discharge away from the house are one of the simplest ways to protect a foundation. Keeping soil moisture steady during long dry spells and making sure the ground slopes away from the house also help reduce movement.

One Contractor for the Whole Home

Foundation movement can show up on the roof as well, and storm damage can lead to water problems below. Because we handle storm damage roof repair, gutters, and foundation repair, you get one team looking at the whole picture instead of three contractors each seeing one piece of it.
