If your home or business in Friendswood has cracks in the walls, uneven floors, or doors that won’t close right, you might be dealing with a foundation issue. Leveled Concrete helps property owners fix these problems with solid, no-hassle foundation repair services that work long-term.

What is a Foundation and Why is it Moving?

Your foundation is the concrete base your home or building sits on. It’s meant to hold everything steady: walls, floors, roof, plumbing, electrical. If it starts shifting, the whole structure feels it.

So why does it move?

In Friendswood, it’s mostly the soil. The ground here has a lot of clay in it. When clay gets wet, it swells. When it dries out, it shrinks. Picture a sponge soaking up water and then drying out again. That movement pushes up and pulls down on your slab over and over.

It doesn’t take much. Even a tiny amount of shifting in the soil can create cracks, dips, and stress points in the concrete. And once your slab is out of alignment, everything else starts to go with it.

  • Expansive clay: This soil expands and contracts constantly, putting pressure on your slab from below.
  • Water issues: Poor drainage or leaky plumbing under the slab can wash away soil or keep it too damp.
  • Dry spells: Hot, dry weather pulls moisture out of the soil. The soil shrinks, leaving gaps under your slab.
  • Tree roots: Trees suck moisture from the soil unevenly, which causes one side of your home to settle faster than the other.
  • Construction shortcuts: If the foundation wasn’t built on properly compacted soil or wasn’t deep enough, it’s more likely to settle unevenly over time.

Our Foundation Repair Services

At Leveled Concrete, we use polyurethane foam injection and sometimes pressed concrete pilings. Each method has its purpose, and sometimes we use both together.

Pressed Concrete Pilings

This method is perfect for slabs that have settled or are sitting on soft or washed-out soil. Here’s how polyurethane foam jacking works:

  1. Drill small holes in the concrete slab (about the size of a dime)
  2. Inject polyurethane foam under the slab
  3. Foam expands, filling empty space and lifting the slab back to its original height
  4. It cures in minutes and becomes strong enough to support your home or building

When the soil deeper down is unstable or there’s significant settling, we need to go further:

  1. Hydraulic equipment drives concrete cylinders into the ground beneath the slab
  2. We go down until we hit stable soil or bedrock that can handle the weight
  3. We use shims or foam to lift and support the slab at the right height

This method gives your structure a permanent support base that won’t shift with the weather.

Why Friendswood Homeowners and Business Owners Trust Us

  • We explain everything: No jargon…we show you what’s going on and why it’s happening.
  • We don’t oversell: If you don’t need deep pilings, we’ll tell you. If foam is enough, we’ll stick with that.
  • Minimal mess: No giant holes in your yard. No long delays.
  • Local knowledge: We know the ground here. We’ve seen what happens in different neighborhoods and how the soil behaves.

When Foundation Repair is Necessary

You don’t have to be an expert to spot warning signs. Here’s what to look for:

  • Cracks in walls or ceilings, especially near windows or doors
  • Gaps between walls and baseboards
  • Floors that slope, bounce, or feel uneven
  • Doors that stick or drag
  • Windows that are hard to open or close
  • Cracks in tile, brick, or exterior siding

These signs usually mean something’s moved under the surface. It doesn’t always mean your home is falling apart, but it does mean it’s time for a professional look.

What Happens If You Ignore It?

A lot of people wait too long. They hope the cracks won’t get worse. But here’s the thing: foundation damage rarely stays the same…it gets worse as the soil moves. Cracks spread. Water gets in. Plumbing shifts. You can even start to see roof damage or drywall separation upstairs.

Fixing it early means lower cost, fewer repairs, and less stress.
