Grade Beam Installation

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.

Signs You Need Grade Beam Installation or Repair

Early detection of foundation issues is key to preventing further structural damage. Below are some of the most common signs that your home or building may require grade beam installation or foundation repair:

Cracks along the corner of a ceiling and wall, showing signs of structural damage.
Top Warning Signs of Foundational Damage
A cracked concrete driveway, wet from rain, leads to a garage surrounded by trees and grass.
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.
Cracks along the corner of a ceiling and wall, showing signs of structural damage.
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.
Crawl space with wooden support beams and a muddy floor.
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+++

What’s the difference between grade beams and slab foundations?

A slab foundation is poured directly onto the soil, while a grade beam is reinforced and supported by piers or concrete pilings, making it better for areas with shifting or expansive soils.

Can you repair damaged grade beams?

Yes. We offer structural reinforcement and foundation repair services to address cracking, sagging, or failure in existing grade beams.

Are grade beams part of pier and beam foundations?

Not typically, but they can be used alongside support beams to improve structural load distribution in hybrid foundation designs.

Do you offer warranties on your foundation repair services?

Absolutely. Every project is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.
