Your home’s foundation is its most important structural element. In Fort Worth—especially in neighborhoods near Trail Lake Drive—the type of foundation you choose can make all the difference in long-term stability. At OT Construction, we specialize in both slab foundations and pier & beam foundations, helping homeowners select the best fit.

Slab Foundations in Fort Worth

Slab foundations are a solid concrete base poured directly onto the ground.

• Pros: Affordable, quick to install, energy-efficient.
• Cons: Susceptible to cracking in clay soil without proper prep.

Pier & Beam Foundations

Pier & beam systems elevate your home on concrete piers, leaving crawl space underneath.

• Pros: Easier access for plumbing/electrical repairs, flexible in shifting soil.
• Cons: More expensive upfront, potential for moisture in crawl spaces.

Common Foundation Issues in Fort Worth

• Cracks in walls or ceilings.
• Doors and windows sticking.
• Uneven or sloping floors.
