Standing almost equidistant from Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, Temple, Texas is a small city with a lot to offer. Residents appreciate how an easy drive gets them to any of Texas’s three largest cities. 

They also like how an even quicker trip north or south puts them in Waco or Austin, respectively. Beyond being so desirably situated, though, Temple has plenty of assets of its own. 

Temple’s Baylor Scott and White Medical Center, for instance, is one of the region’s largest and best-equipped teaching hospitals. Although growing rapidly, Temple still features a small-town feeling that makes it an especially appealing place to live for many. At CenTex, we are proud of the work we do to repair and protect foundations and homes throughout the city. 

Foundation Damage is Common All Over Temple 

Life in Temple is not always as pleasant and carefree as might be hoped, though. As with many other communities in Central Texas, much of Temple stands atop clay-heavy soil that swells and shrinks aggressively when it absorbs water and subsequently dries out. 

The dangers inherent in these expansive soils most often become apparent when they cause damage to foundations. Although sound foundation and drainage system design will help, homes in Temple often succumb to problems caused by expansive soil. 

Simple hydrostatic pressure from water piling up underground often adds to the burdens foundations in Temple’s face. Even homes that are maintained carefully and consistently can end up with foundations that need repairs. Whenever any sort of foundation problem arises, we at CenTex are ready to help. 

Familiarity With Common Signs of Foundation Damage Pays Off 

Temple residents can protect their homes by staying alert for the most common signs of foundation problems. Recognizing any of these early on and seeking help quickly will keep the damage and expense to a minimum. Some of the issues that most often signal the need for foundation inspections or repairs in Temple are: 

• Visible cracks — When a foundation cracks or settles, the structure above it often does the same. Cracks that appear on walls, ceilings or the exposed part of a foundation almost always indicate more serious underlying problems. 
• Misaligned doors or windows — If part of a foundation settles, window and door frames above it can become distorted or even damaged. Doors that no longer open and close smoothly or windows which stick and hitch are common symptoms of foundation damage. 
• Unaccustomed pest problems — If pests like roaches or ants suddenly start showing up in a home, cracks opened up by foundation problems will sometimes be responsible. Should pests keep returning even after removal, a deeper look at the situation will often reveal foundation damage. 
• Obvious bowing or settling — Some foundation problems are so serious that they become difficult to overlook. If certain walls of a home start to seem slanted, an inspection will almost always be in order. Should the sinking of a foundation leave floors within a house slanted and uneven, having a professional take a look will be wise. 

Call CenTex for a free, comprehensive inspection whenever issues like these suggest your home’s foundation might be damaged. Our highly trained inspectors know what to look for and provide transparent, honest reports every time.

The transferable lifetime warranty that backs every centerbeam steel pier project reflects our confidence in this exclusive technology. Although it costs more than our other slab repair services, the peace of mind our centerbeam steel pier provides makes it the best choice for homeowners who want the best.

The blend of effectiveness, affordability, and longevity our concrete pilings provide makes them perfect for many homeowners in Temple.

Older homes in Temple often stand atop pier and beam foundations, a design that has long since given way to concrete slabs. Many companies in Central Texas have little or no experience with repairing pier and beam foundations, but CenTex is different.
