Foundation Repair San Antonio, TX

Historic homes and very different ground

Historic neighborhoods near downtown, such as King William and Monte Vista, have many older homes on pier and beam foundations. North of Loop 1604, many neighborhoods sit on limestone with thin soil, often on sloped and graded lots. South and east of downtown, deeper clay soils swell and shrink with moisture.

Long hot summers and recurring drought pull moisture from the soil, and sudden storms put it back.

What San Antonio homeowners run into

• Older pier and beam homes with sloping floors and aging piers.
• Clay movement in south and east side neighborhoods.
• Hillside settlement and runoff on the north side.
• Stucco and stone cracks near corners and openings.
• Caliche layers that affect drainage and pier installation.

North side vs. south side

On the north side, inspections focus more on fill settlement and drainage on sloped lots. On clay to the south and east, seasonal swelling and shrinking is the main issue. Both start with elevation readings across the floors.
