Foundation Repair and Evaluation in Katy, TX
We evaluate and repair slab and pier-and-beam foundations across Katy, from Old Katy's older housing stock to the newer master-planned sections west of the Grand Parkway. Katy work regularly crosses three permitting jurisdictions, so we confirm which one applies before anything is scheduled.
Foundation Concerns in Katy? Here's What We Check First
A crack or gap appeared and you are not sure it matters
Appearance alone cannot settle whether a foundation needs repair. Elevation readings and distress patterns can.
Doors are sticking or floors feel uneven
These are reasons to measure, not conclusions on their own. An evaluation identifies what is actually happening.
Quotes from different companies do not agree
Usually the gap is scope, method, and exclusions, not a disagreement about your house. A written scope resolves that.
You want findings before a sales pitch
We measure first and explain what we find. If monitoring is the reasonable answer, that is what the report says.
Areas We Cover in Katy
Katy sits over severe expansive Gulf Coast clay and spans Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller County permitting jurisdictions; rapid subdivision growth on graded fill makes differential slab movement a distinct local concern.
Permitting jurisdiction: Harris, Fort Bend & Waller Counties
Katy is part of the wider area we cover for foundation repair in Houston, with the same evaluation-first process on every property.

Getting to Katy Properties
Most Katy work is reached along I-10 and the Grand Parkway (TX-99), with Westheimer Parkway, Cinco Ranch Boulevard, and FM 1463 serving the newer subdivisions. Crews stage equipment early to avoid the heaviest I-10 inbound traffic, which affects how we schedule morning arrivals in Cinco Ranch and Grand Lakes.
The practical point for Katy homeowners is jurisdiction. The City of Katy, unincorporated Harris County, Fort Bend County, and Waller County each handle permitting differently, and a single subdivision can sit across a line. We confirm the correct authority before scheduling, so the permit path is settled before work begins rather than discovered mid-project.
Katy Housing Stock We Work On
Katy's newer master-planned neighborhoods — Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Grand Lakes, Firethorne — are overwhelmingly slab-on-grade, many built on engineered or graded fill. Fill placement and compaction history matter here, because differential support under a slab can show up as distress years after construction.
Old Katy and Nottingham Country include older homes, some with raised or modified foundations and mature trees close to the structure. Tree-root moisture withdrawal near a slab edge is a genuine local factor, which is why our Katy evaluations record tree proximity, drainage patterns, and irrigation alongside the elevation survey.

What Katy Customers Say
"The evaluation didn't try to sell me a repair I didn't need. They documented the readings and told me what to watch, which I respected."
"Straight answers about which county actually issues the permit for our street. Nobody else even brought it up."
"They mapped the elevations, showed me where the low corner was, and the quote matched what they'd explained on site."
Reviews reflect individual customer experiences. Outcomes depend on the property, the documented scope, and site conditions.
Katy Foundation Questions Answered
How quickly can you get to a Katy property?
We respond to Katy requests within 24 hours to discuss the property and arrange an evaluation. Scheduling for Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, and Grand Lakes usually works around I-10 traffic, so morning slots fill first.
Which parts of Katy do you cover?
We work across Katy including Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Old Katy, Nottingham Country, and Grand Lakes, plus the surrounding unincorporated areas toward Fulshear and Cypress.
Does foundation work in Katy need a permit?
It depends on scope and jurisdiction. Katy spans City of Katy, Harris County, Fort Bend County, and Waller County authorities, each with its own requirements. We confirm which applies to your address and handle the permit where one is required.
Are newer Katy homes really affected by foundation movement?
Newer homes are not exempt. Much of west Katy was built on graded fill over expansive clay, and uneven support or moisture differences can produce distress in a home only a decade old. Age alone does not settle the question — an evaluation does.
Do you work on both slab and pier-and-beam foundations in Katy?
Yes. Most Katy subdivisions are slab-on-grade, but Old Katy includes older raised foundations. We identify the foundation type during the evaluation and explain how it changes the approach, access, and cost.
What does an evaluation cost in Katy?
Our foundation evaluation is a documented, low-pressure first step, and we explain what it includes before we schedule it. What we will not do is publish a repair price for your home before measuring it.

Tell us what you're noticing and we'll explain what it may involve before anything is scheduled.
