House Leveling
In The RGV.
Action House Leveling provides specialized pier & beam house leveling in the Rio Grande Valley. We replace rotted sills, reinforce structural beams, and return floors to true across Mercedes, McAllen, Harlingen, and Brownsville.
Does your house
need leveling?
Pier & beam homes shift over time — especially in RGV clay soil. Catching it early saves thousands. If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule a free house leveling inspection.
- Sloping or sagging floors
- Doors and windows that stick or won't latch
- Visible gaps where walls meet floors
- Cracks in drywall above door frames
- Rotted or damaged wooden support beams
- Bouncy or springy spots in the floor
Our house leveling
method.
Crawlspace Inspection
Full structural assessment of every pier, beam, and joist beneath your home.
Synchronized Jacking
Hydraulic bottle jacks placed at engineered points lift the structure together — slowly and safely.
Replace & Reinforce
Rotted sills, damaged beams, and failed shims replaced with treated lumber and steel shimming.
Final Verification
Laser-leveled to factory tolerance. Doors close. Floors flatten. Cracks settle.
Methods we use to level a home.
House leveling isn't a single technique — it's a coordinated set of methods chosen to match your home's foundation type, age, and how far it has moved. Here's what's in our toolkit on every RGV leveling job.
Synchronized Hydraulic Jacking
Multiple hydraulic jacks rise together in 1/8-inch increments. Synchronized lifting is the difference between a clean leveling and cracked drywall.
Concrete & Reinforced Concrete Piers
New piers added or failing ones replaced — concrete piers for pier-and-beam homes, reinforced concrete piers for slab lifts. Both transfer the load below moving clay.
Steel Shimming
Galvanized steel shims set the final elevation between beam and pier. They hold their position permanently — no compression, no rot.
Digital Manometer Mapping
Elevation readings every few feet across your floors produce a topographic map showing exactly how the home has moved.
Sill & Beam Repair
Rotted sills and sagging beams replaced with treated lumber before the lift — you can't level a home on members that are already failing.
Mudjacking & Polyurethane Lifting
Sunken interior slabs raised with grout or high-density foam injected under the slab. No demolition, same-day cure.
