Precision jacking and shimming to bring your home back to true level. We lift gradually, support permanently, and verify every measurement.
House leveling is the process of raising and stabilizing a settled or tilted home back to its original elevation. For pier and beam homes in South Texas, this involves carefully lifting sections of the house using hydraulic jacks, then placing shims or adjusting piers to maintain the new position permanently.
Unlike slab foundations where mud jacking or polyurethane injection is used, pier and beam leveling works from underneath the house — which is why an under-home evaluation is absolutely critical before any work begins. We need to see which piers have shifted, which beams have sagged, and what caused the settling in the first place. Guessing from the surface is how other contractors get it wrong.
In Corpus Christi, Portland, and Ingleside, many homes were built on fill dirt or reclaimed marshland that continues to compact decades after construction. Homes in Rockport, Aransas Pass, and Bayside face storm surge and flood events that wash out soil support from under piers. Further inland in Mathis, Sinton, and Beeville, deeper clay soils create more dramatic seasonal heave and shrink cycles.
The result is the same: your piers are sitting on ground that is no longer where it was when the house was built. One corner drops half an inch. One side sinks two inches. Over time, those small shifts compound into major structural problems. Early leveling prevents the damage from spreading to walls, roofs, and plumbing.
