Foundation Repair in Texas
Foundation repair can include house lifting and elevation to leveling your pier and beam home. EHM can raise your home above the floodplain while increasing your home’s value and saving costly repairs. Cracks in walls and ceiling may only need a foundation leveling. The cost is based on the footprint of the home instead of the height and can include full range of services including finish work that most other companies don’t do or subcontract out to third parties.
Foundation Repair covers multiple areas such as:
- Pilings on gulf homes suffer erosion from constant wet and dry conditions.
- Pier and beam houses suffer from shifting soil causing cracks in walls and ceilings.
- Home leveling issues result from both of these conditions.
- Water retention trapped by clay erodes slab foundations and causes sinking.
- Basement cracks and leaking in northern regions require waterproofing and support.
Texas foundation repair problems are very common, especially in the southeastern part of the state. For instance, the area from Houston and Sugarland, residential areas close to a bayou like Meyerland, and all areas down to Galveston are highly susceptible to extreme flooding. As a result, elevating your house is imperative to save you not only on insurance, but from drastic flood damage.

Raising a house in Houston, Texas has never been easier.
Since Hurricane Harvey, several elevation companies raised their cost to lift a house. The cost to raise a house and replace the foundation elevation by 3 to 4 feet averages $14,000 to $24,00 to avoid future flooding, and is mandatory for certain areas. Houses in Houston and Meyerland below the flood plain suffered massive flooding. FEMA grants helped those who filed early, but many were taken advantage of by elevation companies. Even after the flood, house levelling contractors are needed for slab elevation service to level their home because of soil movement under the slab foundation.
