Is your slab settling, or is it the foundation? That's the first question worth answering before calling anyone. Slab-only settling shows up on a driveway or patio, isolated to that surface. Foundation movement shows up inside the house: sticking doors, diagonal wall cracks, floors that slope across multiple rooms.

Balch Springs Concrete Lifting assesses which one you're dealing with before recommending anything. Older homes on expansive clay soil in this area see both kinds of movement as the decades pass, and they need different fixes.

FAQs

Foundation Repair FAQs

How do I know if it's the foundation or just the slab settling?

Slab settling stays outside, on a driveway, patio, or walkway. Foundation movement shows up inside the house as sticking doors, cracked drywall, or sloped floors across rooms.

Does foundation repair stop the house from sinking again?

A proper lift addresses the current settlement. Clay soil will keep shifting seasonally, so some homes need monitoring or follow-up work years later, but the original fix should hold.

How long does foundation repair take?

Structural work runs longer than cosmetic slab lifting, often a few days depending on how much of the foundation is affected.

Do I need a permit for foundation repair?

Structural foundation work typically needs one. Cosmetic slab-only lifting usually doesn't, which is one reason it matters to correctly diagnose the problem first.

Will insurance cover foundation repair?

Most standard policies exclude gradual soil-related settlement. It's worth checking your specific policy, but plan on this being an out-of-pocket repair .
