Foundation Repair in Galveston, TX

Every foundation repair contractor in Galveston County

Foundation repair in Galveston is a story of water more than clay. A sample of the area around the centre of Galveston found 15 land points, and 5 of them sit inside the floodplain FEMA maps. That describes the area, not any one address, so a homeowner checks their own lot on FEMA's flood map. Standing water near a foundation keeps the ground under it wet.

Soil is the lesser worry in the same sample. Of 25 points, 8 fell on the bay and 12 had no soil record. None of the 5 points with a soil reading sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. Galveston soil was the most common, at 4 points. The median home in Galveston was built in 1973. Older Texas homes are more often pier and beam, as a general pattern, though the census does not record the foundation type.
