Foundation Slab Crack Repair
Foundation slab crack repair services
Cracks in your concrete slab are more than a cosmetic problem; they can be a sign of movement, settling or moisture issues that may affect the safety and value of your home. Rodriguez House Leveling and Foundation Repair provides professional foundation slab crack repair services to address the cause of cracking and help protect your structure long term.
With more than 15 years of experience in house leveling and foundation repair, our team evaluates slab cracks carefully and recommends repair options that match the condition of your foundation and your budget.
Types of slab cracks and what they mean
Not all slab cracks are the same, and different crack patterns can point to different problems. Common slab crack types include:
- Hairline surface cracks that often form as concrete cures and may be mostly cosmetic if there is no movement.
- Wider or growing cracks that suggest active movement, settling or heaving in the soil under your slab.
- Diagonal or stair‑step cracks that can indicate differential settlement in one section of the foundation.
- Cracks that change in width from one end to the other, showing that one side of the slab has shifted more than the other.
A professional inspection can help determine whether your slab cracks are simply surface‑level or signs of an underlying structural issue.
What causes slab foundation problems?
In our region, slab foundations sit on expansive soils that shrink when dry and swell when wet, which can move your foundation up, down or sideways over time. When this movement is uneven, parts of your slab settle while others lift, creating stress that shows up as cracks, misalignment and floor problems.
Common causes of slab foundation issues include:
- Poor drainage or standing water around the home
- Plumbing leaks beneath the slab that wash out supporting soil
- Tree roots drawing moisture out of the soil near the foundation
- Improper soil compaction or site preparation during original construction
- Long‑term drought followed by heavy rains, causing soil to cycle repeatedly
Addressing both the damage and the underlying conditions gives your repairs the best chance of lasting.
Signs slab cracks may be serious
Some slab cracks can be monitored, while others require timely repair. Warning signs that your slab cracks may be part of a larger foundation problem include:
- Cracks that continue to widen, lengthen or reappear after patching
- Floors that feel uneven, sloped or bouncy near the cracked areas
- Interior drywall or exterior brick and siding cracks that line up with slab cracks
- Doors or windows that start sticking, dragging or going out of square
- Gaps at baseboards, ceilings or around trim close to the crack locations
If you are noticing these issues, it is time to have your slab evaluated before the damage spreads or becomes more expensive to correct.
Our foundation slab crack repair process
Rodriguez House Leveling and Foundation Repair takes a measured, step‑by‑step approach to repairing slab cracks so that the fix addresses both symptoms and causes when needed:
- On‑site inspection
We examine the slab cracks, check inside and outside the home for related signs of movement, and, when appropriate, take floor elevation readings to understand how the slab is shifting. - Diagnosis & recommendations
We explain what type of cracks you have, whether they are cosmetic or structural, and recommend appropriate repair options, which may include structural support, leveling, or crack treatment methods based on your situation. - Crack repair and stabilization
Depending on the findings, our crew completes the agreed‑upon repair plan to help stabilize the slab, limit further movement and treat the cracks so they are better protected from moisture and debris intrusion. - Final checks & clean‑up
After repairs, we recheck affected areas, confirm improvements in alignment where applicable, and clean the jobsite so your property is left neat and safe.
Throughout the project, you are kept informed, and any major step is discussed with you before work proceeds.
Why timely slab crack repair matters
Addressing foundation slab cracks sooner rather than later helps you stay ahead of more serious structural issues. Professional slab crack repair can:

- Reduce the risk of moisture entering through cracks and affecting your home
- Preserve the structural integrity and resale value of your property
