Foundation repair in Katy, TX
Free floor-level readings and a written report in 24 hours. If you don’t need repair, the report says so.
Katy grew fast, and many homes in Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes, Kelliwood and Nottingham Country were built in the 1990s and 2000s on post-tensioned slabs over clay. Those slabs are strong, but the clay under them still swells after big rains and shrinks in long dry summers.
We see the same pattern every year in Katy: a dry July and August, then a wet fall. Doors start sticking, a crack opens over the garage door, and brick on the corner of the house shows a stair-step crack. Most of those homes need a measurement first, not piers.
Our free check starts with floor-level readings in every room, then a walk around the outside to look at drainage, gutters and trees near the slab. Katy lots often have flower beds against the foundation and sprinklers that soak one side of the house more than the other. Fixing that water can be enough for small movement.
When repair is needed, most Katy homes need pressed concrete or steel piers on one side or corner. We show the pier layout on a map in the report, with the price, before anything is scheduled. Older homes in Old Katy near downtown are often pier and beam, and those get a crawl space check instead.
Katy is about 30 minutes from our shop off W 34th St, and we book inspections across the Katy area most weekdays, usually within 48 hours of your request.
