What Is a Grade Beam Foundation?

A grade beam is a reinforced concrete beam that supports load-bearing walls by transferring the weight across piers or pilings. Unlike a slab foundation or pier and beam foundation, grade beams are typically integrated with deep supports like concrete piers, support beams, or steel shims, making them ideal for areas with unstable or expansive soils, like much of the Houston area.

Grade beams are frequently used in both commercial and residential projects to strengthen structural stability. They're also an essential part of many modern foundation repair services when correcting or rebuilding failing supports, as well as addressing several other common foundation problems.

Cracks in Concrete Slabs or Walls
Cracks in your slab or wall surfaces often indicate that the soil beneath your foundation is shifting or settling. These cracks can appear vertically, horizontally, or in stair-step patterns—each pointing to a specific type of movement. Left unaddressed, these fractures can widen and affect the integrity of the entire structure.

Sagging or Misaligned Doors and Windows
If your doors or windows are suddenly sticking, difficult to open, or not aligning with their frames, your foundation may be shifting. These issues usually stem from uneven settling that causes the frame to twist or pull out of alignment. This is a common indicator of deeper foundation problems beneath the surface.

Visible Settling in Your Home’s Structure
Noticeable dips in flooring, sloping rooms, or a visibly sinking side of your home can signal foundation settlement. This may be caused by soil erosion, poor grading, or failed support systems like piers or beams. A properly installed grade beam system helps redistribute loads and halt further settlement.

Uneven Floors or Gaps Between Walls and Flooring
Walking across your home and noticing sloped or bouncy floors is more than just a cosmetic issue. Gaps between the baseboards and floor or walls pulling away from ceilings suggest weakened or shifting support underneath. Grade beam installation can restore balance and ensure long-term stability.

Water Intrusion Around Your Crawl Space or Footing
Standing water, damp soil, or signs of mold near your crawl space or around your home’s perimeter can lead to serious foundation damage. Excess moisture softens soil, weakens support structures, and accelerates rot or corrosion. Proper drainage and grade beam reinforcement can protect against future water-related issues.

I could not be happier with this company. I had several companies come out to assess my home, and Valued Foundation Repair were the most thorough and honest out of them all. Every step of the project was communicated and pictures/videos were taken of the work being done. They even spotted a plumbing issue, and helped me with finding a plumbing professional to come fix the issue during the project's crunch time. I honestly cannot thank them enough for saving my home and our investment. I will definitely be spreading the word about these guys for anyone who needs foundation work done. A+++
