Slab Foundations Move Differently Than Pier and Beam
A slab foundation is a single concrete pour that also serves as your floor, so when the soil beneath it shifts, the whole slab moves together, which shows up as sloping floors, cracked tile, or cracks in the slab itself.
QFR stabilizes slab foundations exclusively with in-house manufactured steel push piers, driven to load-bearing strata to address cracking and settlement.
Wrapping Up a Slab Foundation Repair

Cause Assessment
We confirm the cause is settlement, soil movement, or drainage.
Pier Layout
Piers are placed at load-bearing points along the slab perimeter.

Steel push piers are driven to load-bearing strata.
Finish
The slab is stabilized to its maximum practical level.
Foundation Repair Solutions
Methods used to stabilize and repair foundation problems based on the cause.
Foundation Underpinning
Underpinning stabilizes foundations by transferring the load to deeper, more stable soil layers and bedrock, using QFR's steel push pier or Adjust-A-Pier systems depending on foundation type.
Deep Foundation Systems
A deep foundation system carries a structure's weight past the reactive surface soil to strata that does not move. At QFR that system is our in house manufactured steel push pier, driven hydraulically to load bearing strata.
Push Piers
QFR's in-house manufactured steel push piers are driven hydraulically to load-bearing strata to stabilize and lift settled slab foundations.
Slab Piers
Slab piers support and stabilize sunken concrete slabs, particularly useful in commercial settings with larger slab spans.
Micro Piles
Micro piles is the name we use for our own steel push piers when access is tight: crawl spaces, interior openings, or a narrow side yard. Same in house manufactured pier, same load bearing depth, installed with compact hydraulic equipment.
Slab Foundation and Central Texas Clay
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.
