Foundation repair for Seguin's mix of homes
Seguin is one of the larger towns near New Braunfels, and it has a deep mix of housing, from historic homes near the center to modern subdivisions on the edges. That range matters for foundation work: an older Seguin home is far more likely to sit on pier-and-beam framing, while newer construction is slab-on-grade. The two show and solve foundation problems differently, so the first step is always a foundation inspection to see what kind of structure and what kind of movement we are dealing with.
The soil across Seguin carries plenty of the region's expansive clay, and areas closer to the Guadalupe River add moisture-holding river-bottom soils on top of that. Both react to the same wet-dry cycle that drives movement countywide, swelling with storms and shrinking through the summer. Depending on what we find, the answer is pier and beam leveling, slab foundation repair, or a combination with drainage work.
Older homes, river soils, and what they need
Seguin's older housing stock has real character, but decades of soil movement often leave floors sloping and piers settled. In those homes the crawl space is where the story is told, and crawl space support work can bring floors back toward level and firm up a bouncing floor without gutting the interior. We work carefully around original materials so the repair does not damage what makes an older home worth keeping.
For homes closer to the river, moisture management is central. Soils that stay damp swell and hold that swell, and directing water away with proper drainage correction keeps the ground under the house more stable through the seasons. On the newer slab homes farther out, the same principles apply on a slab instead of piers.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on older, historic homes in Seguin?
Yes. Many older Seguin homes are pier-and-beam, and we can re-level and reinforce them while working carefully around original materials. An inspection of the crawl space shows which piers have settled and what the floor needs.
Does being near the Guadalupe River affect my foundation?
It can. River-bottom soils hold moisture and can stay swollen longer, so drainage that moves water away from the home is especially important closer to the river. We factor that into any repair plan in those areas.
How do slab and pier-and-beam repairs differ?
Slab repair typically involves supporting the concrete from below to lift and stabilize it, while pier-and-beam work adjusts or replaces the piers and shims under a raised floor. The inspection determines which your Seguin home has and needs.
