Why Homes in Garland Experience Foundation Issues

It's not uncommon for Garland homes to experience soil movement throughout the year due to the local clay-rich ground that expands with moisture and contracts during dry periods. This constant shifting can cause differential stress on concrete slabs and pier-and-beam structures. Trees and landscaping can affect moisture levels around foundations, leading to uneven support. These conditions may lead homeowners to seek foundation repair in Garland.

FAQs

Initial evaluations are always free. After you call the office to schedule an inspection, a structural analyst will come to your home to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the foundation. He will first ask you questions about the signs of stress that you are seeing, when you first noticed them, previous repair history, etc. He will then prepare a scaled footprint drawing of your home. He will note any physical signs of the post-construction movement for both the exterior and interior finished surfaces. He will look at the drainage conditions around your home. He will then record elevations using a Technidea Ziplevel™. Finally, he will analyze all the information and determine if repairs are recommended. Depending on multiple factors, the entire evaluation process can usually be completed in about an hour.

Concrete slab foundations have pipes underneath them. Those pipes can leak at any time. When a slab foundation settles, the pipes underneath and attached to it move and can be compromised as a result of that movement. Foundation repairs typically involve lifting the foundation. The act of lifting the foundation back towards its original position moves the pipes and that movement can compromise those pipes. The chance of the plumbing being affected during the repairs is a function of how much the foundation is being lifted, what type of material the pipes are made from, and the condition of the pipes beforehand. Structured Foundation Repairs recommends and can include pre and/or post-plumbing tests. All plumbing tests are performed by licensed plumbers.

It is possible to do both. The goal of most foundation repairs is to attempt to lift the foundation back to as near its original horizontal position while stabilizing it from future movement. When a foundation settles, the walls get “stretched” somewhat. That “stretching” of the walls can create cracks in the finished surfaces (exterior brick and/or interior sheetrock). When the foundation is lifted, the cracks can close to some degree. However, Structured lifts the structure slowly while monitoring the finished surfaces. If new cracks start to appear during the lifting process, Structured will determine if it is appropriate to keep lifting or if the lift should cease and the foundation stabilizedat the current elevation.

There is a misconception that the foundation needs to “settle” after repairs are completed. It is not the foundation that needs time to “settle”, it is the framework behind the sheetrock that may, or may not, need a short period to “adjust” to its new position. Therefore, if you have the luxury of time, you may want to wait a few weeks before commencing cosmetic repairs. If you are selling your home and would like to do cosmetic repairs immediately and the framing has not yet fully adjusted to its new position, it may become necessary to do some minor cosmetic touch-ups in the future.
