Located just south of Lewisville Lake and in the heart of the Blackland Prairie, our area endures expansive clay soils and foundation shifting year after year. When these clay soils in your yard receive water- rain or lake- they expand. When they dry out (after periods without rain), they shrink and crack, creating pressure on your foundation year after year. Blackbeard Foundation Repair understands the specific environmental conditions of Lewisville and surrounding areas, and we tailor our repair techniques to effectively address these local challenges.
In Lewisville, the repetitive wetting and drying cycles of expansive clay soils make foundation problems become a significant concern for homeowners.

Why Lewisville Homeowners Trust Blackbeard Foundation Repair
Homeowners rely on our expert knowledge of the factors that stress area foundations to maintain the value and structural integrity of their Lewisville properties. The main factor is the combination of clay-based soils and proximity to Lewisville Lake, one of the largest lakes in the state. This soil swells dramatically when it absorbs moisture from summer rains and the lake overflow, then cracks during the dry season when rain is scarce. The constant cycle of swelling and cracking exerts tremendous pressure on foundations that many cannot withstand.
Common Foundation Issues We Solve:
- Visible gaps between the foundation and exterior materials such as bricking or siding.
- Cracks that form on concrete floors or along the outside walls of a home.
- Doors that stick, jam, or no longer open with even gaps across the top.
- A chimney or porch area tilting or separating from the main structure.
Our years of experience servicing homes throughout Lewisville have provided critical insights into the specific weaknesses and risks local properties face. Threats range from routine weather-related wear and tear to foundation-specific problems common in this region. We combine this knowledge with steadfast dedication to craftsmanship, using only high-quality materials and the most effective techniques. We focus on clear, consistent communication at every step and keep them informed and ensure the best results.

Timely
“Since we live by the lake, we were always a little concerned about the foundation of our home. When we noticed some cracks, we knew we had to do something about it. We contacted Blackbeard and the inspector was great, not only at explaining how the moisture in the soil was causing problems with our home but also at making the repair. We couldn’t be happier with the results.”

Highly recommend
“I had several estimates from other companies before settling on Blackbeard. The difference was in their analysis. They were honest and did not try to sell me the most expensive solution. They leveled our floors perfectly, and their team remained polite and respectful the entire time they were at our home.”

Outstanding service
We shopped around and ended up choosing Blackbeard because they took the time to educate us about our foundation problem, and they did not just try to sell us an expensive fix. Our home needed extensive pier work because of Denton’s tough soil, and their team completed the job professionally with clear communication every step of the way. We are so impressed with the work and customer service that we would trust them for anything.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions

What makes foundations in Lewisville particularly vulnerable to damage?
The most significant factor in Lewisville foundation damage is the highly expansive clay soil common to this region. Clay soil has the tendency to swell up as it absorbs moisture and then shrink as the ground becomes dry. These environmental changes cause the soil to expand during wet seasons and contract- and often crack- during dry periods. This uneven movement exerts pressure on foundations that many cannot withstand. The climate of the region, with periods of heavy rains followed by summer droughts only compounds this problem.
What are the most critical warning signs of a foundation problem for Lewisville residents?
In Lewisville, one of the most common signs of foundation issues is new cracks in interior drywall around windows and doors. Also watch for doors or windows that stick, sloping or uneven floors, and gaps between brick exteriors and window sills. Contact Blackbeard Foundation Repair as soon as these issues appear to obtain a professional assessment and prevent further damage.
Between slab and pier and beam, is one foundation type better for Lewisville?
Both slab and pier-and-beam foundations face challenges in Lewisville due to local environmental factors. Concrete slabs are built directly on expansive clay soils and are therefore more susceptible to movement from moisture changes. During the area’s dry periods, the soil will shrink while heavy rains will cause it to expand. This movement can create cracks and shifting in the slab over time. In contrast, pier-and-beam foundations are supported on piers rather than directly on soil, offering more flexibility. However, they are not without their own set of issues. Individual piers may settle or shift, leading to uneven floors or compromised structural stability. Another challenge is the crawl space beneath pier-and-beam foundations. This space is prone to moisture, which can cause wood rot, mold, or pest infestations, all affecting structural health.
How often should a foundation in Lewisville be professionally inspected?
Inspections are recommended every three to five years for preventative maintenance and immediately after extreme weather events or warning signs like cracks or uneven floors. The soil conditions in Lewisville can be very challenging for foundations because of the expansive clay soil and the region’s alternating periods of heavy rain and summer droughts. The shifting soil can cause voids to form under the foundation as it shrinks during the dry months, which can make the home structurally unstable. After droughts, heavy rains cause soils to expand, exerting additional pressure on foundations. Regular inspections and early repairs help prevent major structural damage and preserve your home’s stability.
Can foundation damage in Lewisville be permanently resolved?
Yes—foundation damage in Lewisville can be permanently resolved with proper repair methods. Techniques such as deep-driven steel piers and helical piers permanently stabilize foundations by transferring weight from unstable surface soils to stable, load-bearing soils below. This isolates the foundation from soil movement, providing a lasting solution. Blackbeard Foundation Repair has extensive experience with these techniques and offers warranties on our work.
