We use cutting-edge foundation leveling methods, including:

◉ Fixing Pier & Beam Foundations
Many homes in San Antonio, TX have elevated pier and beam structures, which are vulnerable to humidity and timber decay. Unlike slab foundations, pier & beam systems use a crawl space, making under slab tunneling them vulnerable to shifting soil and wood rot.
Our pier & beam foundation repair services include:
➤ Replacing damaged wooden beams to enhance support stability
➤ Aligning pier structures to level and reinforce the foundation
➤ Upgrading water drainage to keep water from accumulating under the home
By addressing foundation issues promptly, homeowners can avoid expensive future repairs while preserving the longevity of their homes.
◉ How Under Slab Tunneling Protects Your Home
One of the most effective ways to fix foundation issues without tearing up floors is beneath-the-foundation tunneling. This technique allows technicians to reach damaged plumbing or foundation points below the home.
The process involves:
➤ Excavating an access point under the house to get to the affected zone
➤ Fixing foundation and plumbing concerns, such as correcting foundation shifts and water leaks
➤ Backfilling and compacting the tunnel to maintain foundation strength
This method keeps your home intact while delivering precise repairs.
