Soil movement
Gulf Coast clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries. That constant flexing lifts, drops and cracks a slab that was poured right on top of it.

Why slabs fail here
Between the water table, the clay and everything the storms drag through, a slab that was level last summer can be cracked by fall. These are the three things we check first.
Gulf Coast clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries. That constant flexing lifts, drops and cracks a slab that was poured right on top of it.
Heavy rain and a high water table push water under the slab. Once it is under there it takes soil with it and leaves voids behind.
Live oaks and pines pull moisture out of the soil beneath a foundation and drive roots through anything in their path. Both move the slab.

How a job runs
The same sequence on every job, from the first look at the slab to the last pass of the trowel.
We read the slab, the soil and the drainage on site so we know what is actually moving and what is only cosmetic.
Piers and anchors go in below the slab to carry the load past the problem soil and hold it there.
Water is routed away from the foundation so the soil stops washing out from underneath it.
Concrete is poured, finished and graded to shed the next storm instead of absorbing it.
One call and we will tell you what is moving under your slab and what it takes to stop it.
