Foundation Issues in Carrollton Homes
Carrollton’s housing stock includes homes from the 1950s through recent construction. Older neighborhoods near Josey Lane and Belt Line Road have more cumulative foundation movement — decades of shrink-swell cycles accumulate. Newer construction in north Carrollton may be seeing its first significant settlement as fill soils consolidate. The 2022 Texas drought accelerated foundation movement across all of Carrollton.

FAQ — Carrollton Foundation Repair
What causes foundation problems in North Texas?
Expansive bentonite clay soil — black gumbo — is the primary cause. It expands when wet and contracts significantly when dry. Every drought-wet cycle stresses your slab. The 2022 Texas drought caused record foundation movement across Carrollton and the rest of the Metroplex.
