Why it happens here

Why Central Texas Foundations Move

Austin's expansive Blackland clay shrinks in dry summers and swells after rain, cycling in volume with every wet and dry season. Homes built on this clay can experience ongoing movement as the soil expands and contracts. Where that movement shows up depends on the home and foundation type.

"We install steel piers down to resistance, which around here is usually bedrock. Average pier depth is 16 feet."

Repairs stabilize your foundation to its maximum practical level; we do not promise a return to original grade or a guaranteed lift. For slab foundations, warranty coverage is tiered by pier load-bearing capacity at time of install (8,000+ psi: lifetime transferable; 5,000 to 8,000 psi: five year; below 5,000 psi: not warrantied), and slab warranties require a hydrostatic plumbing test completed within 60 days of repair. Pier and beam repairs on Adjust-A-Piers carry a five year warranty on workmanship and materials. All coverage is voided by adverse drainage conditions, and coverage is strictly limited to the areas directly supported by the piers we install.
