Slab Foundation Repair

Trusted slab foundation evaluations and repair solutions for homes across North Central Texas

What is a Slab Foundation Repair?

Most homes in Texas are built on concrete slab foundations. Changes in soil moisture, poor drainage, or natural settling can cause a slab to shift, crack, or become uneven over time. When this happens early detection is key to preventing further damage.

At Carlton Foundation Solutions, we take a practical, honest approach. Focusing on understanding the problem first, then recommending only what’s truly needed.

Signs You May Need Slab Foundation Repair

Common signs of slab foundation issues include:

  • Cracks in interior walls, ceilings, or brick

  • Doors or windows that stick or won’t close properly

  • Uneven or sloping floors

  • Gaps between walls, floors, or ceilings

  •  Cracks in tile or concrete flooring

If you’re noticing one or more of these issues, a professional evaluation can help determine whether your slab foundation is the cause.

Slab Foundation Repair Methods

 Every home and soil condition is different. That’s why we don’t use a one-size-fits-all solution. After evaluating your foundation, we recommend the repair method that best fits your home, soil conditions, and level of movement.

Pressed Concrete Pilings

Pressed concrete pilings are a common and effective solution for slab foundation repair. Concrete cylinders are hydraulically pressed into stable soil beneath the foundation. Once proper depth is reached, the slab is carefully lifted and stabilized.

Best for:

• Moderate foundation settlement

• Homes with accessible soil conditions

• Cost-effective stabilization

Steel Piers

Steel piers are designed to reach deeper, more stable soil layers. These piers provide long-term support and are often used when soil conditions are more challenging or when greater foundation movement has occurred.

Best for:

• Severe settlement

• Poor soil conditions

• Long-term stability needs

Precision Lifting & Leveling

Once piers are installed, we use hydraulic lifting equipment to gently raise the foundation toward its original position. Our goal is stabilization first — lift is performed carefully to avoid additional stress to the home.

Backfill & Clean-Up

After repairs are complete, excavated areas are backfilled and graded. We take care to minimize disruption and leave your property clean and secure.

“Van and his crew did a great job reinforcing a large stone wall in front of our house that had moved a bit and had potential to move more. They were in and out quickly and left the area looking like they'd never been there.”

Information About Mud Jacking & Void Filling

When Void Filling Is Helpful

Void filling may be recommended when:

    •    Soil erosion or washout has occurred beneath the slab

    •    Plumbing leaks have created empty spaces below the foundation

    •    Minor settlement has left areas of the slab unsupported

    •    Additional support is needed alongside other repair methods

This process helps restore contact between the slab and soil, reducing the risk of continued movement.
