Free inspections • Residential & Commercial • Serving Haltom City since 2000
Haltom City sits directly north of Fort Worth — one of the oldest inner-ring suburbs in the DFW metroplex. Many homes here were built in the 1950s through 1970s, small ranch-style houses on slab foundations that are now 50 to 70 years old. That aging housing stock makes Haltom City one of the most foundation-problem-prone suburbs in Tarrant County.
The terrain is flat to gently rolling, but Big Fossil Creek runs right through the area — and its drainage patterns affect neighborhoods on both sides. After heavy rains, water collects near foundations in low-lying areas, seeping into the expansive North Texas clay soil. During drought periods, that same soil shrinks and pulls away from the slab. After five decades of this expansion-contraction cycle, many Haltom City foundations are reaching their breaking point.
