Doors that stick, cracks over doorways and floors that slope usually mean part of the slab has moved.

Repairs, Leveling and Prevention
Pier and Beam Repair
Bouncy floors and gaps at the baseboard in an older home often start with sagging beams or shims underneath.
Pier and Beam Repair
Foundation Leveling
Leveling brings the low part of the house back toward where it started, in controlled steps.
Foundation Leveling
Foundation Piers
Piers carry the weight of the house down to soil that does not swell and shrink with the seasons.
Foundation Piers
Drainage and Root Barriers
Water pooling at the wall and big tree roots under the slab are two of the reasons a foundation keeps moving.

Foundation Inspection
Before anything is quoted, someone has to measure the floor and look at what the cracks are actually doing.

Commercial Foundations
Shops, offices and small industrial buildings sit on the same soil, with tenants and stock to work around.

Foundation Crack Repair
Some cracks are shrinkage and some are movement. Which one you have decides whether it gets sealed or supported.

Crawl Space Repair
Sagging joists, crushed shims and damp ground under an older raised house, put right from underneath.
Crawl Space RepairChoosing the Right Repair
Two houses on the same street can need completely different work. A 1960s slab on the east side that has dropped along one wall is a piers and leveling job. A 1930s pier and beam home in the older neighborhoods may only need beams and blocks reworked underneath. A newer home north of Loop 1604 sitting partly on rock and partly on fill moves in a way that needs measuring before anyone talks about repair at all.
Plenty of San Antonio houses do not need structural work yet. Water running back toward the house, a downspout emptying at the corner or a live oak drawing moisture out of the clay can cause movement that gets better once those things are dealt with. That is why drainage correction and root barriers sit on this list beside the heavier repairs.
Start with a foundation inspection, compare pressed concrete and steel piers if piers are recommended, and check whether your address is covered on the service areas page. The process page walks through what a visit involves.
