House Leveling
When a house has dropped unevenly — one corner low, a wing sloping away — leveling raises it back toward a tolerable, stable plane. The method depends on the foundation: piers under a slab, shims and adjusted supports under a pier-and-beam home.

What house leveling involves
The crew surveys elevation to find the low points and the magnitude of the drop, then installs the right support — concrete or steel piers for a slab, adjusted shims and piers for a raised floor — and lifts in controlled stages. The goal is a tolerable, documented level rather than a perfectly flat floor, because over-lifting a long-settled structure can crack it.
- 01Full elevation surveyThe entire footprint is mapped to locate the low points and the total amount of drop.
- 02Support installationPiers or shims are placed at the engineered lift points around and under the structure.
- 03Staged liftThe structure is raised gradually and monitored as it moves to avoid cracking.
- 04Verify & documentFinal elevations are confirmed and recorded for the project record.
Signs you may need leveling
On DFW's expansive clay, these are the symptoms specialists see most. Spotting one early keeps a small fix from becoming a structural one.
- One corner or side of the house sitting visibly lower
- Floors that slope noticeably from one side of a room to the other
- Large gaps opening at exterior trim, soffits, or the chimney
- Doors that swing open or shut on their own
- Stair-step cracking in exterior brick
