Port Arthur homeowners have frequently encountered problems caused by soil instability. The heaving, sinking, or washing away of soil beneath a home can damage or displace a foundation, creating a cascade effect that ultimately compromises the structural integrity of the house the foundation was built to support.

South Texas is Prone to Foundation Upheaval
The aftermath of Hurricane Harvey was devastating for Port Arthur residents, many of whom experienced flooding. Many of those that did not flood still experienced foundation problems as the intense washing of the soil left many homes on uneven ground.
In addition to the ongoing risk of flooding, the soil in the Port Arthur area is often rich in clay and therefore vulnerable to repeated cycles of water saturation and excessive drying. As clay soil soaks up water following rainfall or flooding it expands in volume, only to dry up and contract during the scorching days of a Texas summer. Foundations rise and fall as soil volume changes, and this causes damage that may be undetectable at first but could eventually lead to a major problem.
In this part of the country, nature can put your home and foundation through a rough and treacherous ride. Fortunately, Olshan offers solutions for foundation problems both big and small.
