Olshan’s Patented Slab Foundation Repair Technology – Cable Lock™ ST Plus
Our solutions are built to withstand the test of time. Olshan offers the exclusive Cable Lock ST Plus system (U.S. Patent #8,500,368). This innovative foundation support system combines the durability of concrete pilings with the strength of steel and is used to repair both foundations and elevate homes above flood hazards.
Cable Lock ST Plus offers significant improvements in the quality of installation, cost-efficiency and long-term reliability when compared to outdated foundation repair methods. While most companies still use concrete pilings or steel pilings, the innovative foundation specialists at Olshan have determined a combination of both technologies can provide a stronger, better, and more reliable repair.
Although Cable Lock ST Plus is the most popular solution we offer in Houston, we also offer a variety of different piling types, as well as foundation lifting (an effective alternative to mudjacking) using a two-part Polyurethane mixture. This allows use to fix structural problems of any type – both residential and commercial.

Prevent & Reverse Foundation Damage with Olshan’s Drought Defense Foundation Watering System

You may even notice the dirt pulling away from your slab foundation as cracks also begin to emerge.
Watering your foundation on a consistent basis to keep soil conditions optimal is an important part of maintaining your home’s foundation. The good news is, Olshan Houston has taken the guesswork out of foundation watering.
