Slab foundations are common in the Fort Worth area because of the region's expansive clay soil. 

This kind of soil contracts and expands significantly with changes in levels of moisture, making slab foundations a popular choice. It's because they are less susceptible to movement compared to other foundations.

Look for signs such as uneven floors, cracks in the walls, doors or windows that stick or don't close properly, and gaps between walls and ceilings. 

If you notice any of these indicators, schedule a professional foundation inspection to determine the extent of the damage and whether repairs are necessary.

Many things can contribute to foundation issues in Fort Worth:

• Soil movement due to fluctuating moisture levels
• Poor drainage causing soil saturation or erosion
• Improper foundation construction
• Tree roots that extract moisture from the soil

These factors can lead to foundation cracking, settling, or heaving over time. 

It depends on the damage to the foundation, the repair method, and the elements. 

Minor repairs may take a few days. More extensive repairs could take a few weeks. 

We'll give a detailed timeline during the assessment phase of the project.

Most standard homeowner's insurance policies do not cover foundation repairs resulting from normal wear and tear or maintenance issues. 

However, if the damage is caused by a covered peril such as a natural disaster or plumbing leak, your insurance may cover the cost of repairs. 

It's best to consult your insurance provider to understand your coverage options and any applicable deductibles.
