Church Foundation Repair

Your home's foundation is its most critical structural element. When it settles unevenly, you may notice sticking doors, cracked drywall, or sloping floors. At Church Foundation Repair, we diagnose the root cause—whether it's expansive clay soil, poor drainage, or plumbing leaks—and deliver a permanent solution. We offer a full range of foundation repair methods tailored to Austin's unique soil conditions. Our concrete piers provide reliable support for lighter structures, while our steel piers...

Frequent drains, unpleasant odors, or unusually green patches in your yard could signal a broken or clogged sewer line. At Church Foundation Repair, we treat sewer line issues with the same urgency as foundation problems—because the two are often connected. Shifting foundations can crush pipes, and leaking sewer lines can cause soil erosion under your slab. Our team uses trenchless techniques whenever possible to save your landscaping and driveway. We perform camera inspections to pinpoint the...

Water is the number one enemy of a healthy foundation. Poor drainage around your home can lead to eroded soil, flooded basements, and uneven settling. Church Foundation Repair provides comprehensive drainage solutions to redirect water away from your structure and keep your property dry. We assess your entire property's grading, gutters, downspouts, and existing drainage systems. Then we design a custom plan that may include French drains, surface drains, trenching, or even tunneling under exis...

When a foundation settles unevenly, the signs usually show up inside first: doors that stick, cracked drywall, and floors that slope. We start by finding the cause, whether that is expansive clay soil, poor drainage, or a plumbing leak, and then recommend a repair that addresses it. Depending on the load and soil conditions, we may use concrete piers, steel piers, grouted steel piers, or cable anchored grouted piers. Every repair comes with a lifetime transferable service agreement, so the prote...

House leveling lifts and stabilizes a structure that has sunk or tilted, bringing doors, windows, and floors back closer to where they belong. Before any work begins, we inspect the framing and foundation to see how far the house has moved and why. We then place piers beneath the load-bearing areas and raise the structure in controlled steps so that finishes like drywall and tile are not overstressed. Because Austin's clay soils swell and shrink with the seasons, we pay close attention to where...

A concrete slab that has dropped or cracked can cause trip hazards and uneven floors throughout the house. Our slab leveling work fills voids beneath the concrete and lifts sections back into position, so the surface sits level again. We look at what is driving the movement first, since soil washout or moisture changes are often behind it, and address that cause along with the slab itself. Work is typically done with minimal disruption to the rest of your home. If you have noticed a sinking floo...

Slow drains, sewer odors, or unusually green spots in the yard can point to a broken or clogged sewer line. We use a camera inspection to find the exact location and condition of the damage before recommending a fix. Where possible we use trenchless methods such as pipe bursting or lining, which keep your yard and driveway intact. When excavation is the better choice, we plan it carefully to limit the mess. Austin soils expand and contract a great deal, which puts steady stress on buried pipes,...

Water pooling against a foundation can erode the soil beneath it, flood crawl spaces, and contribute to uneven settling. We review the grading around your property, along with the gutters, downspouts, and any existing drains, to see where water is going and where it should go. Depending on what we find, the fix may involve French drains, surface drains, trenching, or running new piping under existing structures. The goal is to move rainwater away from the foundation. Because Austin storms can ar...

Commercial buildings place heavier and more uneven loads on their foundations, and downtime costs money, so we plan these projects around your operations. We begin with an engineering-minded inspection of the structure, the soils, and any signs of movement such as cracked masonry, separated joints, or sticking doors on upper floors. From there we recommend a pier system suited to the load and soil conditions, whether that is steel piers, grouted piers, or a combination. We coordinate scheduling...

Hydrostatic testing checks whether water pressure in the soil around a structure is pushing against its walls or slab. This matters in Austin, where saturated ground after heavy rain can build up significant pressure against below-grade spaces. We fill the test area with water and monitor it to see how the system responds, which helps us determine whether leaks, cracks, or drainage gaps are contributing to the problem. The results guide the repair recommendation, so you pay only for the work the...

Tree roots can grow under a foundation or slab and push against it, especially where soil is already drying and shrinking. A deep root barrier is a physical panel set into the ground between the tree and the structure, which redirects roots downward and away from the foundation. We first assess the location of the tree, its root zone, and the soil conditions around your home. Then we determine the depth and placement of the barrier and install it with care for nearby landscaping and utilities. P...
