Targeted repairs for slab and pier foundations affected by Houston clay soil movement.
About This Service
Houston foundation repair is often driven by expansive clay soil and extreme wet-dry cycles. Seasonal drying can shrink the soil around your home; heavy rain makes it swell. That movement stresses slab and pier foundations and can lead to cracks, sticking doors, and uneven floors.
Allied Foundation Repair is a family-owned Houston team that has repaired more than 75,000 homes since 1982. We start with a free foundation evaluation with clear answers about what you are seeing, whether movement is active, and which repair approach fits your home, without pressure.
Whether you need slab foundation repair, pier-and-beam support, or a plan that also addresses drainage and plumbing under the slab, our crews focus on quality work at a reasonable price and leave your property as clean as we found it.
Project Photos
Greater Houston’s gumbo clay expands when wet and contracts during drought. Poor drainage, plumbing leaks under the slab, and large trees near the perimeter can make that movement worse. Over time, the foundation can settle unevenly, especially on older slabs and homes that have already seen flood or drought stress.
Catching foundation cracks and related warning signs early helps you avoid more extensive structural damage. A professional evaluation separates cosmetic issues from active settlement so you know what actually needs repair.
Your free evaluation includes a step-by-step look at interior and exterior conditions. We explain what we find in plain language and recommend a repair plan suited to your foundation type and soil, not a one-size-fits-all pitch.
For many Houston homes, stabilization uses driven concrete piers or pile-guard pier systems designed to track straight and protect the pier’s full compression strength. Steel and hybrid options are available when conditions call for them. Most homes can be completed in a single day; more extensive work may take two to three days, depending on scope and weather.
Step 1
We inspect what you are seeing inside and outside the home and determine whether foundation movement is the cause.
Step 2
You receive a written recommendation covering method, scope, timeline expectations, and warranty coverage for qualifying work.
Step 3
Experienced crews install the approved pier system and restore support under the foundation with skilled supervision on site.
Step 4
We complete the job with careful cleanup so your home looks as good as it did before we arrived, and review what was done.
Built Different
No holes drilled through the concrete. No rods or cables running through the pier. Just full-strength concrete, coupled straight down.
Some foundation companies push standard cylinders straight into the ground with no way to control direction. They can drift east, west, or even toward a neighbor's yard, and there's no way to verify where they end up.
Also available: Steel piers available · Hybrid steel-and-concrete piers available
Repair Options
Although we use the Pile Guard Pier extensively, we offer a variety of foundation repair piers with variable price points for your consideration.
Hardened mold-formed polymer joint guards connect concrete piers driven to a point of refusal, assuring positive alignment and interlock.
Solid concrete cylinders driven to a point of refusal beneath the foundation.
Combines the tensile strength of steel with the compression strength of concrete.
Custom-built galvanized steel segments locked together and driven to load-bearing strata, reaching depths unobtainable by traditional piers.
We tailor the size of our trained crews and experienced supervisors to fit the size of the project. Most homes can be completed in a single day with the manpower we have at our disposal. Extensive foundation repair work, on the other hand, can take 2 to 3 days.
Forty-four years of efficiency and time management simplifies the process and achieves the best on-time results. Our company will bring your home back to its original state with attention to great detail. This process helps to alleviate the stress and anxiety our customers may feel during the repair process.
