TRUST OUR SKILLED TEAM FOR DENTON FOUNDATION REPAIR SERVICES

The expansive clay soils throughout Denton and North Texas pose a significant challenge for homeowners and builders. These highly absorbent, clay-rich soils exhibit a “swell-shrink” behavior. Denton’s expansive soil impacts home foundations by shrinking and contracting when dry, but significantly expanding when wet—similar to a sponge.

Denton foundation repair can be challenging due to its high smectite clay content, one of the most expansive clay varieties. This continuous soil expansion and contraction puts immense stress on building foundations. If not properly accounted for during construction, it often leads to major foundation issues over time for homes and businesses in the area.

Signs of foundation damage from Denton’s expansive soils include:

  • Cracked walls and ceilings
  • Doors and windows that stick or won’t close properly
  • Floors that slope or bounce
  • Chimneys or porches that begin leaning precariously

To combat this during Denton foundation repair, home builders should take extra precautions such as:

  • Using suspended reinforced concrete slab foundations rather than slab-on-grade
  • Installing piers or beams to support the foundation
  • Ensuring proper soil compaction and moisture control around foundations

For existing properties, identifying and repairing foundation issues promptly is vital to avoid further, more severe structural damage. Left unchecked, the effects of Denton’s expansive, swell-shrink soil movements can result in costly repairs for homeowners and businesses down the line.
