Foundation repair in San Antonio

American Homecraft repairs slab and pier-and-beam foundations in San Antonio, where expansive clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in drought.

01

Signs your foundation is moving

Doors that stick or will not latch, diagonal cracks from the corners of doors and windows, gaps between trim and walls, and floors you can feel slope. In San Antonio these usually follow the seasons, getting worse in long dry spells.

02

Fix the cause, then the cracks

Patching drywall over a moving foundation is paint that buys a few months. We level and support the structure first, correct drainage that is feeding the problem, then repair the finishes once the house has stopped moving.

FAQ

Foundation repair: common questions

Why do San Antonio foundations move?

Much of San Antonio sits on expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks during drought. That seasonal movement stresses slabs and pier-and-beam foundations and shows up as cracks and sticking doors.

Do you repair the drywall cracks after leveling?

Yes. American Homecraft repairs drywall, trim and doors after the foundation work, so one contractor handles the whole job.
