Foundation Diagnostic
What Are You Seeing Around Your Home?
Select a symptom to learn what it may indicate, why it happens in Houston, and what Allied checks during your free evaluation.
Brick Cracks
WHAT IT MAY INDICATE
Stair-step or horizontal cracks in brick or mortar can signal foundation movement. The wall may be shifting as soil beneath the home expands or contracts.
WHY IT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON
Houston’s expansive clay soil swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells. That cycle puts uneven pressure on exterior walls and can open cracks in brick veneer.
WHAT ALLIED CHECKS DURING INSPECTION
- Crack pattern, width, and direction on exterior walls
- Separation between brick and window or door frames
- Soil moisture and drainage around the affected area
- Interior signs that confirm exterior movement
Sheetrock Cracks
WHAT IT MAY INDICATE
Cracks at corners of doors and windows, or diagonal lines across walls, often follow stress points where the structure has shifted.
WHY IT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON
When clay soil moves, the slab or piers shift slightly. Interior finishes are often the first place homeowners notice that movement.
WHAT ALLIED CHECKS DURING INSPECTION
- Location and pattern of interior cracks
- Whether cracks are cosmetic or structural
- Floor levelness in the same area
- Exterior and slab conditions nearby
Sticking Doors
WHAT IT MAY INDICATE
Doors that stick, drag, or no longer latch properly may mean the frame has shifted because the foundation is no longer level.
WHY IT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON
Seasonal soil movement can tilt door frames by fractions of an inch, enough to cause sticking in homes across Greater Houston.
WHAT ALLIED CHECKS DURING INSPECTION
- Door and window operation throughout the home
- Floor slope near affected openings
- Foundation elevation measurements
- Signs of soil shrinkage or swelling outside
Uneven Floors
WHAT IT MAY INDICATE
Floors that slope, dip, or feel uneven underfoot can indicate settlement of piers, beams, or the slab itself.
WHY IT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON
Pier and beam homes are common in Houston, and clay soil movement can cause supports to settle at different rates.
WHAT ALLIED CHECKS DURING INSPECTION
- Floor level survey across main living areas
- Condition of piers, beams, or slab edges
- Moisture levels in crawl spaces
- Drainage and root activity near the home
Gaps Around Windows
WHAT IT MAY INDICATE
Visible gaps between window frames and walls, or windows that are hard to open, can result from wall movement tied to foundation shift.
WHY IT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON
Repeated wet-dry cycles in local clay soil can pull window openings out of square over time.
WHAT ALLIED CHECKS DURING INSPECTION
- Window and frame alignment on all sides of the home
- Exterior trim separation at corners
- Interior crack patterns near openings
- Foundation perimeter and soil conditions
Plumbing Concerns
WHAT IT MAY INDICATE
Slab leaks, slow drains, or recurring plumbing issues may be linked to pipe failure under the foundation, not just normal wear.
WHY IT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON
Many older Houston homes have cast iron sewer lines under the slab. Corrosion and leaks can saturate soil and worsen foundation movement.
WHAT ALLIED CHECKS DURING INSPECTION
- Signs of under-slab leaks or sewer line failure
- Water pressure and drain performance
- Moisture patterns around the slab
- Age and type of plumbing under the home
Poor Drainage
WHAT IT MAY INDICATE
Standing water, erosion, or soggy soil near the foundation can oversaturate clay and reduce support under the slab.
WHY IT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON
Heavy Gulf Coast rains combined with flat lots and clay soil make drainage problems a common contributor to foundation issues.
WHAT ALLIED CHECKS DURING INSPECTION
- Grade and slope away from the foundation
- Gutter downspout discharge points
- Low spots and standing water after rain
- Existing drainage paths and French drains
Tree Roots Near Foundation
WHAT IT MAY INDICATE
Large trees close to the home can draw moisture from soil and exert pressure on the foundation as roots grow.
WHY IT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON
Mature live oaks and other trees are common in Houston neighborhoods. Root systems can destabilize soil during dry periods.
WHAT ALLIED CHECKS DURING INSPECTION
- Tree species, size, and distance from the slab
- Root visibility at the foundation edge
- Soil moisture differences near trees
- Whether a root barrier may help protect the home
