Grapevine Solid Foundation Repair serves Flower Mound, one of the larger suburbs near Grapevine. We help homeowners with cracks, uneven floors, and sinking drives. The first inspection is free.
Flower Mound had about 75,900 residents in 2020, up 17 percent from 2010. It covers about 44.5 square miles at an elevation near 604 feet. Most of the town is in Denton County, with parts in Tarrant County.
The town is named for a 12.5-acre hill about 50 feet high, locally called The Mound. Its slopes hold many kinds of wildflowers. Flower Mound was incorporated on February 25, 1961, to avoid being annexed by Irving.
Presbyterian camps stood here in the 1840s, and settlers came in the 1850s. A planned community called Flower Mound New Town was started in the 1970s but dropped after resident pushback.
Flower Mound sits in the Trinity River basin in the Eastern Cross Timbers. Grapevine Lake forms much of its southern edge. Soil types change across short distances.
That mix means some lots have more clay and some have more sand. We test your lot, not the map.
DFW Airport opened in 1974 and sparked rapid growth. Many Flower Mound homes were built in the 1990s and 2000s. Those slabs are now 20 to 30 years old.
That age is when many homeowners first see cracks and sticking doors.
The Mound, Parker Square, and Hound Mound Dog Park are well known local spots. The town also has a fossil site tied to the Protohadros byrdi dinosaur. Open areas add trees and drainage paths.
Trees near homes pull water from clay. Roots can shrink soil near a slab. A root barrier helps.
Some Flower Mound lots are larger than average, and a few are acreage. Long drives, pools, and outbuildings add weight and change drainage.
We inspect the whole property and write one clear plan.
Homes near Grapevine Lake can sit on lower ground. After heavy rain, water moves toward the lake and through yards. Blocked swales and clogged drains cause pooling.
A French drain or a graded swale can guide water away from the slab.
North Texas has long, hot summers and sudden storms. Hail and wind get headlines, but soil movement quietly does more harm over the years.
Walk your lot after storms. Look at the slab edge, door gaps, and drainage.
Driveways, walks, and patios crack and sink as clay moves. Lifting concrete is faster and cleaner than full replacement in many cases.
We look at the drainage under and near the concrete as well.
Some owners fill a crack with caulk, and it opens again a year later. That often means the ground is still moving. A patch hides the crack but does not fix the cause, so we look at the soil, the gutters, and the slab edge first.
Water that pools near the slab swells clay soil. Check that downspouts carry water several feet from the house and that the ground slopes away from the walls. These small fixes cost little and protect the slab.
If another company gave you a big repair plan, you can ask us to look too. A free inspection gives you a second set of eyes and a clear list of what is urgent and what can wait.
Many Flower Mound yards have pools, patios, and tall fences. Heavy water use and poor drainage near these features can wet the soil near the slab. Tell us what is in your yard so we can include it in the check.
Below are the repairs homeowners here ask about most.
A Denton County soil survey lists the Silawa, Nawo, and Gasil soil series in the area. Each one drains and shifts a bit differently, so two houses a mile apart can act in different ways.
Grapevine Lake and Marshall Creek form much of the town’s southern edge. Lots near that edge can stay wet longer after rain. The town also gets about 233 sunny days and 79 days with rain in a typical year. Long sunny stretches dry the ground, then a wet week swells it again. That swing is what moves slabs.
The 2020 census counted 26,714 housing units, and only 3.8% were empty. Most of the town is in the Lewisville Independent School District. Much of Flower Mound also sits above the Barnett Shale, a gas-bearing rock layer deep below the surface. Your slab rests on the soil near the top, so that top layer is what matters most.
Small cracks are common. Wide or growing cracks, or doors that stick, deserve an inspection.
It is a belt of post oak and blackjack oak woodland across North Texas. Soil varies there.
Yes. Concrete lifting raises sunken drives and walks.
It can. Lots near the lake and Marshall Creek may hold water longer. Good grading and gutters help move water away from the slab.
No. Several soil series are mapped here. That is why each home is checked on its own instead of judged from the street.
