What are the signs that my home may need foundation repair?
Common warning signs include cracks in drywall or brick, doors and windows that stick, uneven floors, gaps around windows or doors, and visible foundation cracks.
What causes foundation problems in Texas?
Texas' expansive clay soils expand when wet and shrink during dry periods, causing foundation movement. Poor drainage, plumbing leaks, tree roots, and drought conditions can also contribute.
How do I know if foundation cracks are serious?
Not all cracks indicate a structural issue. Horizontal cracks, stair-step brick cracks, widening cracks, or cracks accompanied by sticking doors and uneven floors should be evaluated by a professional.
Do you offer free foundation inspections?
Yes. Abacus Foundation Repair provides free, no-obligation foundation inspections and estimates to determine if repairs are needed.
How long does a foundation inspection take?
Most inspections take between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the issues.
