01 · The honest answer

What Causes a Concrete Slab to Sink

A sunken slab is usually a symptom of soil movement beneath it, not a defect in the concrete itself. Central Texas's expansive clay soil swells and shrinks with the seasons, and when it shifts unevenly, the slab settles with it.

We lift and level the slab by driving steel push piers to load-bearing strata below the reactive soil layer, restabilizing it rather than just patching the surface. The goal is your slab's maximum practical level, not a promise of a return to original grade.

02 · How it works

What to Expect, Start to Finish

A clear path from first look to finished repair.

Step 01

Free Inspection

We document the settlement pattern and measure slab levels room to room.

Step 02

Cause Assessment

We confirm settlement, not another issue, is driving the slab movement.

Step 03

Pier Layout

Piers are spaced along perimeter and interior load points per the settlement map.

Step 04

Installation

Steel push piers are driven hydraulically to load-bearing strata.

Step 05

Lift & Finish

The slab is lifted to its maximum practical level and access points patched.

Why it happens here

Slab Foundation Repair 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.

What we do about it
