Much of the Houston metro sits on highly expansive clay. That soil swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, pulling and pushing on whatever foundation sits above it. Add in seasonal drought, tree roots competing for moisture, and drainage that concentrates water near the slab, and foundation movement becomes less a question of if than when.
That’s why we start every job with an engineering evaluation, not a repair quote. The right fix depends on what’s actually causing the movement, which is exactly what a structural engineer in Houston should be checking before anyone touches your foundation.
