Worried about foundation cracks or sinking concrete? Environmental factors like heavy rains and clay-rich soils in Houston can impact your home’s stability. If you’re noticing signs of damage, these factors might be the cause:
- High Moisture and Expansive Soils: Houston’s humid climate and clay soils are a tough combination. When moisture levels change, the clay expands and contracts, causing cracks in your foundation and uneven concrete surfaces.
- Frequent Heavy Rainfall and Flooding: Houston is no stranger to powerful rainstorms and occasional flooding, which can oversaturate the ground. This can lead to soil erosion and expansion, affecting both your foundation and concrete slabs.
- Quick Soil Drying and Shrinkage: After rainy spells, Houston’s hot, dry weather can dry out the soil fast. This can cause the soil around your foundation to shrink, leading to gaps that create structural stress on your home.
Don’t let Houston’s climate and soil conditions compromise your home’s safety. With Groundworks on your side, you’ll have the expertise you need to protect your property and prevent future repairs.
Our Houston team specializes in foundation repair, concrete lifting, and uneven floors to address these unique conditions. Groundworks is committed to providing durable solutions and exceptional service. For Houston homeowners, no job is too big or small for our experienced team.
Proudly Serving Houston
Groundworks is your trusted local partner for home restoration and repairs. Our team has lived and worked in Texas for many years, so we understand the challenges homeowners like you face.

We had a sudden issue with the foundation, Adrian S came out and set things up for us, and the crew showed up really fast and did a magnificent job. Our crew Mike L, David L. Elyas L, Robert T, and Stafford C. could not have been better. We were facing a major structural issue with the house which could have resulted in untold damage. Thank goodness I found them, and made the call. Adrian really walked my wife through each and every part of the process which helped a great deal in her understanding of the need for the work. They explained every single step of the process as they did it, they worked with us to minimize the disruption. They showed us what they were doing, and actually found another issue which could have been a major subsidence for which we are exceptionally thankful. While any foundation issue is a panic situation they were able to really put my wife's mind at ease, they raised my daughters room over an inch, and the garage over 2 and stopped the cracking dead in its tracks. The doors now shut properly, and the job was as neat as possible, and they cleaned up very well afterwards which was nice. The moved the downspouts away from the house to perfect locations and set the pop valves well so I do not have to worry about the mower. They also were very careful and did not damage any of the tie rods on the porch which was very thoughtful. If you live in the South Texas and Cibolo area, and don't call these guys you are making a bad mistake. Yes, it is expensive, but they made the process transparent, and easy. If I could give them SIX stars I would do so. I just feel sorry for the pouring rain and humidity that they had to suffer through.

Brian Graham and the foundation repair team were great to work with. Everyone was very kind, answered all my many questions, worked hard, was very flexible and overall did a fantastic job. Our foundation repairs were done awhile ago and I have had very few issues and overall feel it worked out great. Amazingly they didn't crack a single tile in the house despite quite a lift of the house.

Jonathan Spinks worked with my mom and gave very thorough information which helped us to understand the foundation repair process. He was very honest about the condition of the foundation and took the time to do a walk around with us. I would highly recommend using FSS, more importantly asking for Jonathan Spinks.

Foundation Support Specialists were well represented by the crew, led by foreman Cornell, that installed 11 foundation piers at our home in September 2024. The team of 4, including co-foreman Lee and installers Zero and Angel, carried out well-coordinated duties that culminated in job completion on a Sunday. After reviewing with me (homeowner) the work performed, it was very apparent that they had exercised great care in leaving landscaping within and adjacent to the needed excavations as close to how they found it.

I was little panicky when I felt the front section of the home we purchased just a year ago dropped down cracking some of the interior wall. After shopping around for a competent company to fix my foundation I settled on FSS. Well, today, Cornell and his three men crew came and did a great job stabilizing my foundation. They were courteous, professional, and above all patient in explaining to me what was done, how it affect my future improvements, etc. I am very happy to have chosen FSS.

It was a great experience, having Robert, Stanford, David, and Chris setting our minds at ease from start to finish. The work was incredibly profession, and their demeanor was exceptional. Very rarely do I have a completely satisfactory transaction. Especially for something so intimidating for home owners. This company, and this crew, has our complete confidence. Thank you all for this. I wish you continued, and well-earned, success.

David and Diego did a great job. They communicated with me at the beginning of the day, walked me through the work that they would be doing, answered my questions and cleaned up everything once they were done. Even did a final walk through to be sure I was happy with the work. I will definitely recommend FSS.
