Signs Your Commercial Property May Need Foundation Repair

  • Stair-step cracks in brick or CMU walls

  • Interior drywall cracks; gaps at trim, doors, or windows

  • Doors and storefronts sticking or misaligned

  • Uneven floors or slab heave/settlement

  • Separation at expansion joints; movement at parapets

  • Ponding water near the building; poor drainage around foundations

 

If you’re seeing these symptoms, schedule an evaluation—early intervention reduces risk and downtime.

 

Why Foundations Fail in Central Texas

  • Expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry

  • Poor drainage or plumbing leaks that wash out or soften soils

  • Heavy loads & traffic (deliveries, equipment, parking structures)

  • Construction or site changes that alter surface water flow

  • Tree roots & landscaping drawing moisture from the soil

 

Commercial Foundation Repair Methods We Use

We specify methods based on structure type, loading, soil profile, and access constraints.

 

Deep Foundation Systems

  • Concrete Pressed Pilings – Driven to refusal for reliable support and lift on many commercial slabs.

  • Steel Piers – High-capacity, deeper bearing where loads are greater or soils are variable.

​

Slab & Structural Remediation

  • Slab Piers to stabilize/raise interior slab areas

  • Grade Beam Underpinning for perimeter movement

  • Void Fill & Soil Stabilization (pressure grout/foam where appropriate)

  • Masonry & Crack Repair to restore finish integrity after structural corrections

 

Moisture & Drainage Improvements

  • Surface drainage re-grading, swales, & downspout solutions

  • French drains & area drains to route water away from foundations

  • Gutter system upgrades to control roof runoff

 

Our Process for Apartments & Businesses

  1. Site Walk & Consultation – Review history, tenant impact, and business constraints.

  2. Engineering-Driven Assessment – Elevation readings, structural mapping, and (as needed) soils review.

  3. Scope & Phasing Plan – Clear sequencing to keep units accessible and businesses operating.

  4. Permitting & Coordination – Work with ownership, PM teams, and city requirements.

  5. Field Execution – Professional crews, safety compliance, daily communication.
