What Brings Most Homeowners Here
These are the four things people call us about. None of them, on its own, establishes that a foundation needs repair. Each one is worth documenting.
Stair-step cracks in brick
Diagonal cracking through mortar joints near windows and corners. It can accompany foundation movement, or it can reflect ordinary masonry behaviour. Width and change over time matter more than the crack being there at all.
Read the guideDoors and windows that stick
Sticking that comes and goes with humidity is usually seasonal. Sticking that worsens steadily, especially alongside cracks, is worth measuring rather than planing down.
Read the guideSloping or uneven floors
A marble that rolls tells you there is a slope. It does not tell you how much, where the high point is, or whether it is moving. An elevation survey answers those three questions.
Read the guideGaps at trim and baseboards
Separation where trim meets the wall or floor, or where brick meets a window frame. Useful to photograph and date, because the change between photos is the real signal.
Read the guideWhat appearance alone cannot establish
A photograph cannot tell you whether movement is active, how much elevation has been lost, or what is causing it. Those answers come from measurement and on-site observation. We will not diagnose your property from a picture, and we would be wary of anyone who does.

Not sure whether what you are seeing needs repair?
That is the question an evaluation answers. Appearance alone cannot establish whether a foundation is moving.

Foundation Repair in New Braunfels: Common Questions
Do you serve all of New Braunfels and surrounding Comal County?
Yes. We evaluate properties across New Braunfels, including the historic downtown core, Gruene, Vintage Oaks, River Chase, Mission Hills, Copper Ridge, and the IH-35 corridor, plus neighboring Cibolo and Seguin. Availability for a specific address is confirmed when you request a quote.
My New Braunfels home is historic and raised. Can you work on it?
Yes. Raised pier-and-beam construction is a core service. Beam shimming, joist sistering, pier footing replacement, and crawlspace moisture conditions are all within our normal scope. The approach differs from slab underpinning, and we explain both during the evaluation.
Do Comal County permit requirements apply to foundation repair?
Requirements depend on the scope and on whether the address falls inside New Braunfels city limits or in unincorporated Comal County. We confirm the current requirement for your property during the quote process rather than assuming which jurisdiction applies.
How much does foundation repair cost in New Braunfels?
Cost depends on foundation type, repair method, pier count, access conditions, and the scope of associated work. Slab underpinning typically involves steel push piers or concrete pressed pilings, and pricing varies with depth to refusal and the number of piers required. Pier-and-beam repairs involve different methods and pricing. We provide a written scope with itemized costs after the on-site evaluation rather than quoting a generic range (2026 pricing is quoted per project).
Is newer construction in New Braunfels at risk of foundation movement?
It can be. Growth-era subdivisions along the IH-35 corridor often involve cut-and-fill grading and young landscaping that change the moisture profile around a slab during its first decade. Build year tells us what to expect structurally - such as whether the slab is post-tensioned - not whether movement exists.
What signs of foundation problems should I watch for?
Common observations include stair-step cracks in brick mortar joints, interior wall cracks near door frames, sticking doors or windows, and sloping floors. On historic homes near downtown, crawlspace moisture and wood-rot symptoms may also indicate support loss. These observations warrant an evaluation but do not establish a diagnosis on their own.
Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair in Texas?
Standard Texas homeowners policies typically do not cover repairs caused by soil movement or normal settling. Coverage may apply when damage results from a covered event such as a plumbing leak. We recommend reviewing your policy with your insurer, and our written findings and scope documentation can support a claim where coverage applies.
Can I stay in my house during foundation repair?
In most cases, yes. Exterior steel push pier or concrete pressed piling work does not require you to vacate. Interior pier access or plumbing testing may temporarily limit use of specific rooms. The written scope states what areas are affected and for how long, so you can plan around the work.
Where can I find foundation repair near me in New Braunfels?
We evaluate properties across New Braunfels and the surrounding Comal County area, including downtown, Gruene, Vintage Oaks, River Chase, Mission Hills, Copper Ridge, and the IH-35 corridor, plus the neighboring Cibolo and Seguin communities. Request a quote with your address and we confirm coverage and schedule an evaluation.
