Caddo Parish's expansive Kessler clay soil expands and contracts with every rain cycle, cracking slabs and shifting pier and beam foundations year-round. We've repaired thousands of Shreveport homes — and we'll fix yours right.
We respond within 2 hours during business hours.
No obligation. We'll call within 2 hours.
The Kessler clay soil common throughout Caddo and Bossier Parishes is among the most expansive soil types in Louisiana. When Shreveport gets its typical 50+ inches of annual rainfall, that clay swells dramatically. During our dry stretches — especially the summer months — it shrinks and pulls away from your foundation. This constant expand-and-contract cycle is the primary reason Shreveport homeowners deal with foundation movement that homeowners in other states rarely experience. Pier and beam homes built before 1980 are especially vulnerable, as the original wood beams were not treated for Louisiana's humidity levels.
We handle residential and commercial foundation repair across the greater Shreveport area. Every service comes with a free inspection, written estimate, and our lifetime transferable warranty.
Concrete slab foundations in Shreveport crack when the clay soil beneath them shifts. We use steel push piers, helical piers, and polyurethane foam injection to stabilize and lift settled slabs back to their original position.
Learn More →Most pre-1980 Shreveport homes sit on pier and beam foundations. Wood beams rot in Louisiana's humidity, piers settle in clay soil, and floors become uneven. We replace damaged beams, shim piers, and install new support systems.
Learn More →When your Shreveport home has sloping floors, sticking doors, or visible tilting, house leveling restores it to proper grade. We use hydraulic lifting systems to raise settled sections and provide permanent support beneath.
Learn More →Not all foundation cracks are equal. Hairline cracks may be cosmetic; diagonal or stair-step cracks signal structural movement. We inspect and repair both, sealing cracks with epoxy injection or carbon fiber straps depending on severity.
Learn More →Shreveport's humidity turns crawl spaces into problem areas fast. Moisture leads to wood rot, mold growth, and pest infestation — all of which compromise your floor system and foundation support. We encapsulate, drain, and stabilize.
Learn More →Our licensed inspectors evaluate your entire foundation — slab, piers, beams, drainage, and soil conditions — and give you a written assessment. Free for Shreveport homeowners. No high-pressure sales, just honest findings.
Learn More →The big national foundation repair franchises send salespeople trained in generic repair methods. Our crews have worked in Caddo and Bossier Parish soil for over 15 years. We know the difference between the behavior of Kessler clay near Cross Lake versus the sandy loam on the east side of town. That local knowledge is what produces repairs that actually last.
We've repaired homes in South Highlands, Broadmoor, Queensborough, Pierremont, University Terrace, and every other Shreveport neighborhood — including the older shotgun-style homes near downtown that require specialized pier and beam techniques most contractors won't touch.
When you call us, you talk to a local Shreveport crew — not a call center. We show up when we say we will, we give you an honest estimate, and we stand behind our work with a lifetime transferable warranty that stays with the house if you ever sell.
Shreveport's clay soil moves constantly. These are the most common warning signs we see in homes across Caddo and Bossier Parish. If you're seeing any of these, call us for a free inspection before the problem worsens.
Diagonal cracks from door corners or stair-step cracks in brick veneer are classic signs of differential foundation settlement in clay soil.
When your foundation shifts, door frames go out of square. Doors that suddenly won't latch or windows that won't open freely are common early signals.
If a marble rolls toward one side of your living room, or if floors feel springy underfoot, your pier and beam system likely needs attention.
Visible gaps between window frames and walls, or between exterior doors and their frames, indicate your home's structure is no longer square.
Horizontal cracks in foundation walls are serious. Vertical hairline cracks may be minor. We'll tell you exactly which is which — for free.
A damp or musty smell coming from floor vents often means your crawl space is holding moisture — which leads to wood rot and foundation instability.
We follow a consistent, engineered process on every job — no shortcuts, no upsells, no surprise charges at the end.
A licensed structural inspector evaluates your foundation, soil conditions, drainage patterns, and interior symptoms. We document everything with photos and measurements.
You receive a clear, itemized written estimate — no verbal promises, no ambiguous scopes. We explain exactly what we'll do and why, in plain language.
Our crews install the appropriate repair system — steel piers, helical piers, beam replacement, encapsulation, or a combination — using equipment rated for Louisiana soil conditions.
We walk the job with you before we leave. You receive documentation of all work completed, pier depth logs, and your lifetime transferable warranty certificate.
We've worked in every Shreveport neighborhood. Here's what some of our customers have said.
"My 1962 pier and beam home in South Highlands had floors sloping almost 2 inches from one end to the other. They came out, explained exactly what was happening with the soil under the house, and fixed it in two days. Doors I hadn't been able to close in years work perfectly now."
"We had diagonal cracks running from our window corners after that dry summer. I called three companies — two gave me vague estimates over the phone, these guys actually came out and looked. Their estimate was honest and they did exactly what they said. No surprises."
"Our crawl space was a disaster after the wet spring — the smell alone was terrible. They encapsulated it, replaced two rotted beams, and installed drainage. Six months later it's bone dry. Best money we've spent on the house in 20 years."
We serve all of Caddo and Bossier Parish, plus surrounding communities across northwest Louisiana and east Texas.
Shreveport's clay soil doesn't stop moving — and foundation problems don't get cheaper when you wait. Call us today or submit a request online and we'll be in touch within 2 hours.
