Foundation repair help in Alamo Ranch

Soil & homes in Alamo Ranch

Alamo Ranch is largely newer construction on post-tensioned slabs over Houston Black and similar high-shrink-swell clays. Newer does not mean immune: fast build-outs and irrigation changes can cause slab movement in the first 5–15 years.

What to watch for

Cracked tile, sticking interior doors, and gaps at baseboards are common early signs. Check any builder warranty before paying for repairs.

Before you hire

• Get at least two written estimates
• Ask what the warranty covers and if it transfers when you sell
• Ask whether an engineer's report or permit is needed
• Consider a plumbing leak test if the cause is unclear
