A Large Suburb With Varied Housing
North Richland Hills is a Mid-Cities suburb of Fort Worth, served mostly by the Birdville school district with the northern part in Keller ISD. Its housing ranges from established neighborhoods to newer subdivisions, so foundation calls here cover everything from older pier and beam floors to newer slabs.
Clay, Moisture and Movement
The soil here is expansive clay. It takes on water and swells, then dries and shrinks. Houses where moisture stays even tend to stay stable. Houses with poor drainage, big trees near the foundation or a leak under the slab tend to move unevenly.
Signs to Watch
- Doors that stick in some seasons and not others
- Cracks at the corners of windows and doors
- Stair-step cracks in brick
- Floors that dip toward a corner or feel bouncy on a raised house
Repair Options
- Slab foundation repair with piers and lifting
- Pier and beam repair with new shims, piers and wood repair
- Drainage correction and root barriers to address the cause
Before You Hire
Ask for elevation readings and a written plan, ask whether a plumbing test is part of it, and confirm permit requirements with the City of North Richland Hills.
Common questions
Why do my doors stick only part of the year?
Clay soil swells in wet seasons and shrinks in dry ones, so a house can move slightly with the seasons. If the sticking is getting worse each year, have the foundation measured.
Is a bouncy floor a foundation problem?
On a pier and beam house it can be, often from failed shims, settled piers or weakened joists. An inspection of the crawl space will tell.
