Foundation Repair in Hickory Hill
Hickory Hill was built out quickly through the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s. Homes here are almost universally slab-on-grade, and the settlement patterns are consistent enough that we usually know what to look for before we arrive.
We provide foundation, drainage, and concrete services throughout Hickory Hill.
What the ground does in Hickory Hill
Large-tract grading produced pads with varying fill depth. Where a slab spans the boundary between original ground and deeper fill, one side settles measurably more than the other.
Eastern Shelby County clays underneath drive the seasonal component, opening cracks in late summer and partially closing them after fall rains.
How homes here are built
Dense single-family subdivisions of 1970s through early 1990s construction, mostly single-story and split-plan brick homes.
Numerous attached garages and covered patios on shallower footings than the main house.
What Hickory Hill homeowners report
- Settlement concentrated along one exterior wall
- Garage slab separating from the house slab
- Cracks in brick above windows and doors
- Interior tile cracking in straight lines across a room
- Standing water in narrow side yards
Drainage in Hickory Hill
Tight lot spacing channels stormwater between houses. Buried downspout lines that carry roof water past the side yard entirely, plus grading correction, prevent that channel from soaking the foundation.
