Slab Foundation
Slab foundations move differently than pier and beam homes. QFR stabilizes slab foundations exclusively with in-house manufactured steel push piers, driven to load-bearing strata to address cracking and settlement.
Slab foundations move differently than pier and beam
A slab foundation is a single concrete pour that also serves as your floor, so when the soil beneath it shifts, the whole slab moves together, which shows up as sloping floors, cracked tile, or cracks in the slab itself.
QFR stabilizes slab foundations exclusively with in-house manufactured steel push piers, driven to load-bearing strata so the fix holds regardless of how the soil around it behaves.
What to expect, start to finish
A clear path from first look to finished repair.
Free inspection
We document cracking, settlement, and slope across the slab.
Cause assessment
We confirm the cause is settlement, soil movement, or drainage.
Pier layout
Piers are placed at load-bearing points along the slab perimeter.
Installation
Steel push piers are driven to load-bearing strata.
Finish
The slab is stabilized to its maximum practical level.
"The mistake people make is treating a symptom as the problem. We diagnose why a foundation moved before we decide how to stabilize it, then stand behind the work with a warranty tied to what the piers actually reached."
The difference is in the diagnosis
Get several quotes and you'll see a wide range of prices. The gap isn't luck, it's whether the contractor finds the actual cause and stands behind the work.
Frequently asked questions
What is a slab foundation?
A single concrete slab poured directly on the ground that serves as both foundation and floor.
How do I know if my slab foundation is settling?
Sloping floors, cracked tile or grout, and cracks in the slab or walls above it are common indicators.
Can cracks in slab foundations be repaired?
Yes, after diagnosing the cause we stabilize with steel push piers to the maximum practical level.
What are common causes of slab foundation damage?
Expansive clay soil movement and drainage issues are the leading causes locally.
Is a slab foundation harder to repair than pier and beam?
Each requires a different system; we use steel push piers for slab and Adjust-A-Piers for pier and beam.
