Marble Falls, with its average annual precipitation of around 30 inches, still experiences periods of dry weather that can negatively impact your concrete surfaces. The local clay soil can shrink during dry spells, causing concrete slabs to settle and crack. When rain returns, the soil swells, creating further stress on these structures. At FSS, we utilize PolyRenewal, a high-quality polyurethane foam injection system, to lift and level your concrete back to its original position. This solution not only addresses existing issues but also provides lasting protection against future moisture fluctuations.
Foundation repair in Marble Falls requires specialized knowledge of local soil conditions and environmental factors that can affect your home. The region is characterized by expansive clay soils, which can lead to significant foundation problems due to their tendency to swell and shrink with moisture changes. Our experienced team understands these dynamics and is equipped to provide effective foundation repair solutions tailored to protect your home’s structural integrity.

"The team was great, especially the leads Earle, Austin, and CJ. They give you a heads up on their ETA, introduce themselves and the plan to ensure they carry out the agreement you had with the first PoC who for me was Jarret Perkins. Also a very great guy as well who will ensure your questions and overall inquiries are taken care of before, during, and after the service!
The team who worked even took the time to save the plants that were near the work area and cut around the stone entrance I have so I can put it back together instead of making their lives easier and cut straight through that area of the home. They were even kind enough to seal a small chip in the driveway with the cement they used to close back the holes they made. Which by the way you can’t even see they even worked on due to how they were capable of cleaning and setting EVERYTHING back together.
After the service they themselves asked if there was anything else I needed taken care of, as well as were patient (after a long day of work) to answer any questions I had.
Still a day or two after the work was completed FSS called to make sure everything was no less than satisfactory. As well as ask you specific questions to ensure the team that came out executed what they were expected to the company’s standards and if not so they can review it in their next meeting. I could tell FSS strives to be the best and are always looking to improve. FSS truly cares for you and ensures you’re left feeling good about the service. They’ll take care of your home as if it were their own."
Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Marble Falls
Soil Erosion
Over time, water or wind can wash away soil particles beneath the concrete slab, creating empty spaces or voids that cause the concrete to sink or crack.
Poor Soil Compaction
If the soil beneath the concrete wasn't properly compacted during construction, it can settle unevenly over time, leading to cracks and sinking.
Tree Root Growth
Roots from nearby trees can grow under concrete slabs, lifting and cracking them as they expand.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Repeated freezing and thawing of water in the soil can cause it to expand and contract, putting pressure on the concrete and leading to cracks and lifting.
Heavy Loads
Excessive weight from vehicles, equipment, or other heavy objects can stress the concrete, causing it to crack and settle.
Moisture Changes
Fluctuations in moisture levels can significantly impact the soil's stability beneath concrete, leading to erosion and voids that cause the concrete to settle.
Understanding these common causes can help you take preventive measures to maintain the integrity of your concrete surfaces and avoid costly repairs.
