A slab foundation acts as both the main floor and base of your home. Usually made up of concrete, this slab is poured directly onto the ground and is 4-6 inches thick.
It’s one of the more preferred types of foundations here in Houston because of its cost-effectiveness and ability to keep the heat trapped inside during colder months. Also, they’re quite durable and resistant to pests like termites because of their solid concrete design. However, due to the expansive clay soil and extreme weather shifts in Houston, these slab foundations can succumb to cracks, settling and moisture damage from the flash rains we get here.
Left unchecked, a damaged slab foundation can begin to shift and slope, creating safety hazards for you and your loved ones.

At Two Brothers Foundation Repair, we aim to make foundation slab repairs as smooth and worry-free as possible. With over two decades of experience in the Houston Metro area, we’ve developed a streamlined process tailored to meet your home’s specific needs. Here’s how it works:
The interior and exterior of your home are inspected to detect any cracks, evidence of shifting or sticking doors. Once the assessment is complete, our professionals outline the root cause behind the damage and potential fixes in our detailed report.
No two houses are the same, and neither are their foundation problems. So after diagnosing the problem, our experts will come up with a specialized plan tailored to your needs.
Our experts will then use industry-standard methods to restore your foundation's strength. That can be slab jacking, which involves injecting a specialized material beneath the slab to raise and level it. Or it could be pier installation where steel or concrete piers are installed beneath the foundation to provide long term stability.
After the repairs are done we don’t just pack up and leave. We test the structural integrity of your new foundation by ensuring that it’s level and back into its original position.

Operating in the Houston Metro area, we come across plenty of slab foundations uprooted by the expansive movement of the clay soil that’s found here. The flash rains and floods in Houston can also disrupt the drainage systems of homes, causing water to seep into the foundation and expand the cracks in the slab.
This usually results in the floor, or slab sinking and shifting from the force of the soil, which in turn causes cracks in the walls and roof. Our experts may inject chemical treatments into the soil to stabilize it or use compaction techniques to strengthen it.
For the water seepage problem, we start by plugging up the cracks that are letting the water in. The next step is to fix the drainage system by recommending or installing french drains or sump pumps that redirect the water away from the foundation.
Foundation issues don’t go away by themselves. Dismissing cracks, uneven floors or unstuck doors as minor issues will only make your foundation problems grow as time goes on.
And while DIYing your home’s slab foundation repair may seem like a good idea at the time, most of the time it fails to address the root cause of the damage, offering only a temporary solution.
Professional slab foundation repairs takes the guesswork out of the equation. Trained foundation repair experts carefully inspect and detect the underlying problems beneath your home and come up with a tried and tested method to fix them.
It not only saves you time and money, but also the stress of dealing with major structural concerns later, keeping your home safe and secure for your family.
Concrete slab foundation repair costs typically range from around $500 to over $4,000, but the final price can be significantly higher depending on the condition of your foundation.
Minor repairs like closing up small, vertical cracks are the least expensive. While slab jacking, also known as leveling, lies somewhere in the middle. Pier installation, which provides the most extensive support, is usually the most costly repair option.
Surface-level issues are relatively affordable to fix, while deeper structural problems, such as uneven floors or extensive cracks, will naturally increase the cost.
If your foundation is difficult to access due to landscaping or other obstacles, the repair costs may be higher due to the extra labor and resources required.
