Soil Stabilization for Homes
Living in Texas can pose a unique challenge for homeowners given the threat of expansive clay soils native to our state. Expansive clay soils have a knack for swelling and shifting, causing cracks in foundations, tilted floors, and a host of structural issues.
Fear not, Earthlok’s residential soil stabilization services are here to help keep your home on solid ground.
At Earthlok, we understand your frustration dealing with unstable soil. We’ve made it our mission to provide a revolutionary solution that tackles the problem head-on. Our state-of-the-art soil stabilization process is guaranteed to prevent any signs of swelling, ensuring your home remains stable for years to come.
Top 3 Reasons for Soil Stabilization for Homes
1. Increased Load-Bearing Capacity Below the Home
Texas clay soils are notorious for their poor load-bearing capabilities, which can lead to foundation issues if your foundation’s soil wasn’t treated before construction. If you’re worried that your home is shifting and creaking above a sludge of clay soil, our soil stabilization service enhances your soil’s strength, allowing it to support the weight of your home without any hiccups.
2. Reduce Clay Soil’s Permeability
When soil stabilization is put in place, the results limit potential costly structural, foundation, or property damage. Clay soil quickly absorbs water, causing it to swell and potentially damage your home’s foundation.
Our chemical injection soil stabilization process creates a moisture barrier that prevents excess absorption and the risk of costly repairs.
3. Long-Lasting Protection
Swelling is an issue homes face when they rest on clay soil. Texas weather can be unpredictable, with frequent fluctuations between hot and cold temperatures leading to these issues. Our soil stabilization solution provides long-term protection against the effects of these seasons.
Ground Stabilization on Existing Homes
If your home was built without proper soil stabilization, Earthlok Soil Stabilization is ready to stop the shift.
Our team utilizes residential hand injections to administer our ionic soil stabilization solution around your existing home’s foundation. This environmentally-friendly innovative technique creates a moisture barrier that prevents the clay from swelling.
Ground Stabilization for New Construction Homes
Before you break ground on your new home, consider incorporating soil stabilization into your construction plans.
By performing chemical injection soil stabilization before the actual construction process starts, you’re giving your home a solid foundation from day one. Our proactive approach ensures your new home remains stable and free from any soil-related issues for decades to come.
Stabilized Soil Around Inground Swimming Pools
Inground swimming pools are a beautiful addition to any backyard, but without proper soil stabilization, they can turn into a nightmare. The cement basin of your pool can crack, leak, or even break apart.
To maintain the integrity of your inground swimming pool, we perform tailored soil stabilization. When installing a new inground pool our team can stabilize the surrounding soil so it remains structurally sound throughout the years to come.

Soil Stability Analysis
Ensuring a stable foundation begins with understanding the soil conditions on your property.
Earthlok’s team of experts starts our soil stability analysis by conducting thorough soil tests, extracting multiple samples from various depths and locations around the site. These samples are meticulously analyzed for critical factors such as moisture content, plasticity, and swell potential. This soil analysis can also be performed by a geotechnical engineer.
With the soil analysis complete, Earthlok swings into action with our proven clay soil stabilization process.
The process consists of injecting our eco-friendly soil stabilization solution that penetrates deep into the soil layers, typically reaching depths between 5-15 feet or more, which is based by the site soil conditions.
Throughout this process, our team closely monitors the application, adhering to strict quality control measures to ensure optimal results.
