Nearly all homes in the greater Houston area are built on concrete slabs because the soil is very unstable and the water table is very high. Slab foundations may reduce some of the structural risk to your home, but it won’t eliminate it. plumbing issues under the slab or foundation are issues that must be taken care of immediately.

Most of the soil in Houston has a high content of clay, which is sensitive to moisture fluctuations. Introduction of water into clay causes it to expand and heave upward, subjecting foundations to pressures from underneath. In extreme cases, the slab and flooring can erupt and water floods every room on the ground floor. Homes also have sewer lines that direct the flow of waste water out from the house, which can crack and cause damage, as well causing waste water to flow back into the house.
