What Are the 3 Types of Slab Foundations?

Not all slabs are the same. Knowing which type your home has helps you understand how it behaves — and how it's repaired.

Slab-on-grade foundations are common across newer San Antonio homes, but they come in a few forms.

The 3 Types

1. Monolithic slab — poured in one piece, fast and economical. 2. Stem wall (T-shaped) slab — footing poured first, then walls, then the slab. 3. Floating (raft) slab — designed to move as a unit with the soil.

Why It Matters for Repair

Each type reacts differently to San Antonio's expansive clay. Our technicians identify your slab type during the free inspection and tailor the repair method — usually steel piers and precision leveling — accordingly.
