The ground splits two ways. In our sample of the USDA soil survey, 40% of New Braunfels sat on clay rated very high for shrink and swell. Another 20% sat on thin, stony soils over limestone. The homes split too. Most are young, with a median build year of 2005, but older towns like Seguin have far more houses from before 1960. Those two facts point to the right service below.
When in doubt, start with an inspection. It costs nothing, and measuring is the surest way to tell a house that's moving from one that was built a little out of level.

Slab Foundation Repair
Most homes around New Braunfels are young enough to be on concrete slabs, and many are probably post-tension. On clay, part of a slab can drop as the soil dries and shrinks. Slab foundation repair puts piers down through the moving soil, then lifts the settled sections back toward level and holds them there.

Pier and Beam Repair
Older raised houses sit on piers or blocks over a crawl space. They move too, but the fix is different: resetting supports, replacing crushed shims and repairing sagging framing. Pier and beam repair covers how it works and what to look for under the house.
-
House Leveling
Sometimes the whole floor has gone out of level, not just one corner. House leveling starts with a floor survey and brings the low areas back up. The guidelines Texas engineers use say it's unlikely any repair makes a house perfectly level, so the goal is close to level and stable.
-
Foundation Inspection
A foundation inspection measures what the house is doing before anyone talks about a repair. A thorough one measures floor heights across the house, checks for leaks and drainage, and considers the soil. Plenty of people stop here, and that's a good outcome.
-
Foundation Crack Repair
Most cracks don't harm a foundation's strength, say the guidelines Texas engineers use. Foundation crack repair starts by working out if a crack is cosmetic or a sign of movement. Then it's fixed the right way for that answer.
