Start with the question you came here to ask
Most foundation guides are written by contractors selling repairs. Ours are drafted for homeowners and cite engineering standards directly — ACI 224R-01, ICC-ES AC358, IRC R408, ASCE Texas Section Guidelines v3 — including the answer to whether you actually need repair at all.

Why San Antonio homes need different answers
San Antonio sits at the boundary of two very different geologies: expansive Houston Black clay south and east of town, shallow Edwards Plateau limestone north of the Balcones Escarpment. That's why one neighborhood's repair plan is the wrong answer for another.
Add the 2022–2025 drought — the second-worst in a century per the Edwards Aquifer Authority — and you have the perfect setup for differential foundation movement. The fix isn't more piers; it's the right piers in the right strata.
