Why Do Concrete Slab Foundations Fail?

February 27, 2023

If foundation failure is evident in your concrete slab, steel piers may be required to repair your foundation damage. That’s because foundation problems in North Texas can lead to all types of cracks and call for structural supports to stop deterioration. If you see issues in your slab foundation, it’s best to carefully inspect your foundation right away to determine if repairs are needed.

Why Concrete Slab Foundations Fail

They generally collapse because they’re fractured and the concrete slab is no longer level. Homeowners in Fort Worth and Irving know it’s common. A successful foundation repair project requires the installation of foundation piers. In order to pass inspection, homes constructed using piers and wooden beams, as well as those resting on slabs made of concrete, must be fixed in order to stop the formation of fissures. It’s important to quickly terminate any fissues that will ultimately lead to structural failure. To determine which type of supports should be used under your slab foundation, you may want to study information about steel piers vs. concrete piers: which is best. Both are regularly used for repairing foundations and have special benefits. It’s important to note that there are a wide variety of foundation piers available on the market, but pressed piers are most commonly used under slab foundations in this area due to the region’s hot climate.

Another reason why foundations suffer defeat is due to poor soil compaction and problems such as too much moisture under the slab. Tree roots can be another source of difficulties because they rob your soil of the water that it needs to prevent your slab from cracking. In some instances, the roots themselves can cause breaks in your foundation.  Fortunately, steel piers, as well as concrete pilings, can elevate your foundation and restore it to its original position. If your foundation is plagued by gaps and related difficulties, it is possible for a trained foundation repair contractor to correct these malfunctions.

Understanding Concrete Slab Foundations

Even though these foundations are thick and heavy, they are still prone to destruction. Weather can adversely affect your foundation and cause the concrete to become increasingly weak. Over time, failure will occur in almost all concrete slabs that were constructed in the DFW area, as well as become readily apparent in those foundations constructed using piers and timber beams. To halt damage, contact qualified contractors that can fix your foundation and stop these ongoing problems.

If your house or property appears to be collapsing or shows indications of fractures, ask HD Foundations to stop by and evaluate your foundation. If it requires repair, we’ll be happy to make recommendations and correct any foundation issues you may have.
