Slab foundation movement and settling in New Braunfels, TX and throughout Central Texas is most commonly caused by expansive clay soil, moisture fluctuations, and poor drainage conditions. When the soil beneath a slab foundation absorbs water, it expands, and during dry periods it contracts, creating constant pressure that leads to foundation shifting, cracking, and uneven settling.
Additional causes of slab foundation problems include improper site preparation, inadequate soil compaction, plumbing leaks beneath the slab, tree root intrusion, and prolonged drought followed by heavy rainfall.
Over time, these conditions weaken the support beneath the concrete resulting in slab foundation settlement, structural movement, and visible damage such as cracks in floors or walls.

Slab foundation repair consists of digging beneath the structure and installing pressed piling pier systems such as:

Pressed concrete piers are one of the most effective methods for stabilizing, supporting, and leveling slab foundations. Each pier is made with 6" concrete cylinders with a ¾" center hole that allos rebar reinforcement to interlock the stacked cylinders. Installation begins by excavating holes at each pier location. The cylinders are hydraulically driven into the ground until they reach load-bearing resistance. A top cap is added, and the foundation is lifted, leveled, and shimmed for long-term support.
Pressed steel piers are another highly effective solution for slab foundation repair, house leveling, and long-term foundation stabilization. These 2¾" steel cylinders are hydraulically driven deep into the ground until reaching solid load-bearing resistance. Designed as sleeve-locking systems, the steel sections securely lock together for maximum strength. Once the proper depth is achieved, a steel cap is installed and the foundation is lifted, leveled, and shimmed for lasting support.
Steel combination piers are the best option available for foundation repair. It's a pier system that strategically combines steel and concrete in accordance to the high moisture content in the layers of soil. We start the pier system using steel cylinders to drive through the different soils until it hits sturdy rock bed. Once reaching proper depth, the pier will transition to concrete cylinders—concrete can withstand the high moisture in the upper layers of the soil, whereas steel can potentially weaken over time in this environment. This pier system creates the ultimate stability to provide long-lasting results.
