What have you seen?
The ground comes in three bands. In our sample of the USDA soil survey, 72.6% of the west band's land points read high or very high for shrink and swell, 20.7% of the middle band's and 85.4% of the east band's. The houses vary too. Denton's median home was built in 1995, Frisco's in 2009, and in Pilot Point 19.8% of homes went up before 1960.
Still not sure? Start with an inspection. It's free, and only measurements show whether a house is moving or was simply built a little out of level.

Slab Foundation Repair
With a slab foundation, the house's concrete floor rests right on the soil. When the clay below one part of it dries or soaks, that part can sink or lift. Slab foundation repair supports the low areas on piers that reach below the moving soil, then lifts them back toward level. In Denton, every foundation repair needs a permit and a plan sealed by a Texas registered engineer.
-
Pier and Beam Repair
Some houses have a raised wood floor instead: beams on piers, with open crawl space beneath. That's more common in older Texas houses, and Denton has the second-largest share of pre-1960 homes of the 33 towns we studied, after Pilot Point. The pier and beam repair page covers reshimming, replacing piers and what to look for under the floor.
-
House Leveling
When a slope runs across a whole room or half the house, house leveling brings the low areas back up. It starts with a survey of floor heights. The guidelines Texas engineers use say a perfectly level result is unlikely after a lift, so the goal is near level and holding.
-
Foundation Inspection
A foundation inspection measures the floors so that any talk of repair starts from facts. On the clay bands, a second set of readings in another season tells you whether the house is still moving. If the numbers say it's stable, that's a good result.
-
Foundation Crack Repair
Most cracks don't weaken the structure, by the Texas engineers' own account. Foundation crack repair starts by sorting a crack in the finish from one that points to movement, then fixes whichever it turns out to be.
Not Sure Where to Start?
That's how most people begin. If you'd like to read first, the soil and rock guide explains the three bands, and the slab leak guide covers the times the problem is water, not the foundation.
