common foundation problems in houston texas homes

Thanks to Texas’ clay-heavy soils and extreme weather swings, foundation problems are unfortunately common. Signs your house may have foundation damage include:

  • Icon of a person standing next to a house.

    Cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors

    Cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors are common signs of foundation problems. They may look minor at first but can quickly scare off buyers unless you sell to someone ready to purchase the property as-is.

  • Outline icon of a person, a house, and a key, representing real estate or home ownership.

    Doors or windows that stick or won't close properly

    Doors or windows that stick or won’t close properly often point to shifting foundations. Instead of costly repairs, you can sell your home as-is to buyers who understand these issues and can close fast.

  • Outline of a house with a shield and checkmark inside, symbolizing home security or protection.

    Uneven or sloping floors

    Uneven or sloping floors are a clear indicator of foundation trouble. Rather than pouring money into repairs, you can sell your home as-is and get a fast cash offer.

  • Line drawing of a house with a central archway and two windows on either side, under a gabled roof.

    gaps between walls and trim

    Gaps between walls and trim are a telltale sign of foundation shifting. Instead of worrying about repairs, you can sell your home as-is for a quick and hassle-free cash offer.

challenges of selling a house with foundation problems

Foundation issues can scare away traditional buyers and reduce your home’s market value - but you still have a way out. Trying to sell a damaged house through the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) or with a real estate agent comes with some tough challenges:

Inspection Failures

Most buyers require inspections, and foundation damage is often a dealbreaker.

time on market

Homes with visible damage may sit on the market for months, attracting lowball offers or no offers at all.

High repair costs

Foundation repairs in Texas can range from $5,000 to $30,000+, depending on severity. Many sellers simply don’t have the budget.

disclosure laws

In Texas, sellers are legally required to disclose known foundation problems, which may reduce buyer interest or cause deals to fall through.

These challenges are why many home owners with foundation problems prefer a direct cash sale with Absolute Properties.
