Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about foundation piering in Houston, TX.
Foundation Piering Houston, TX
Why Shallow Footings Fail in Houston's High-Plasticity Soils
Houston topsoils possess some of the highest plasticity indexes in the nation, swelling dramatically when wet and contracting severely during summer droughts. Shallow footings rest directly inside this active zone of seasonal movement. Without engineered foundation piering driven deep into immovable soil formations, residential foundations will cycle through continuous settling and upheaval, resulting in progressive structural degradation.
