Foundation Repair for Chandler and Lake Homes
Chandler sits about 12 miles west of Tyler on Highway 31 in Henderson County, right by the shores of Lake Palestine. Along with homes in town, the area has many lake homes, from small weekend cabins to larger houses built on lots that slope down toward the water. Each of those settings puts its own kind of stress on a foundation.
Lake lots are rarely flat. A home built on a slope often has a taller foundation on the downhill side, with more weight on fewer supports, and the soil there can creep slowly toward the lake. Water running downhill after a heavy rain can wash out soil near footings or soak the clay along one wall. We look for those patterns first when a lake home starts to tilt.
Many older lake houses near Chandler stand on pier and beam foundations, and some began as simple cabins that were expanded over time. Wood under a house close to the water also deals with more moisture, so we check beams and sills for rot as well as the piers. Newer homes in town and along Highway 31 are more likely to be on slabs, and we handle those just as often. Whatever the foundation type, the visit starts the same way: we measure the floors, look under or around the house and walk the lot to see where rain runs toward the lake.

Learn moreWhy Chandler Homeowners Choose Us
Comfortable on sloped lake lots
We plan access around steep yards, retaining walls and docks, and we check the downhill side of the house where most lake home settling starts.
Moisture checks under the house
Near Lake Palestine, damp crawl spaces are common. We look for wet soil, rot and sagging joists along with any pier movement.
Decks and porches included
Lake homes often have big decks tied into the house. If one is pulling away or sinking, we tell you whether it is the deck or the foundation causing it. Deck footings set in soft lakeside soil often sink on their own, and that fix costs far less than piering the house.
An easy run from Tyler
Highway 31 puts Chandler a short drive west of Tyler. Call with your address on the lake or in town and we will set up a time.

Foundation Repair in Chandler: Common Questions
My Chandler lake house is on a slope. Is that why it is settling?
It may be part of it. Homes on sloped lots carry more load on the downhill side, and runoff can soften or wash out soil there. We measure the floor and check the downhill piers or slab edge before recommending a fix.
Can you repair a pier and beam lake cabin without rebuilding it?
In most cases, yes. Older cabins often need re-shimming, new piers in a few spots and repairs to any rotted sills or beams. We give you a written estimate that separates the leveling work from the wood repairs.
Do you work outside Chandler city limits around the lake?
Yes. We serve homes in Chandler and lake properties nearby in Henderson County. Call with the address and we will confirm.
