Is your house level?
Quick check
Check what you are seeing. One sign alone does not prove a foundation problem, but a pattern is worth looking at.
How it works
Tell us the type of home, your town, and what you are noticing.
We refer you to an independent local leveling or foundation contractor who serves your area.
The contractor looks at the home, explains what they see, and provides their own quote. You decide whether to hire.
What kind of home?
Older homes can settle as piers shift, blocks move, shims compress, or wood members deteriorate.

Learn more →Why homes move
Clay-heavy East Texas soils can expand when wet and shrink when dry. Drainage, leaks, aging supports, decayed wood, and the original setup can also play a part. The goal of an inspection is to figure out what is actually happening at your house—not guess from a crack alone.
Protect yourself
Texas does not issue a statewide house-leveling or general foundation-repair contractor license. Specialized trades can have separate licensing requirements, so the written scope and the people doing the work matter.
Make sure it says what will be adjusted, added, replaced, or left alone.
Ask about piers, blocks, shims, beams, sills, drainage, cleanup, and any written warranty terms.
Be cautious with large up-front demands. Tie payments to clear work milestones.
Ask for local references and proof of current liability insurance before work begins.
Practical consumer advice only. Requirements can vary by trade and location. If electrical, plumbing, HVAC, engineering, or another regulated trade is involved, ask who is responsible for that work.
