Shreveport Structural Repair
Structural Repair Company Serving Shreveport & Surrounding Areas
Pelican Foundation Repair is Shreveport’s trusted structural repair company, helping homeowners near Cross Lake, Downtown Shreveport, and Independence Stadium resolve serious foundation and structural issues before they escalate. Structural damage rarely appears overnight; it builds slowly as soil shifts, moisture levels change, and load-bearing elements weaken under stress. Left unaddressed, small cracks become major safety hazards, leading to costly emergency repairs, reduced resale value, and in severe cases, partial structural failure.
As a local structural repair contractor , we combine local soil knowledge with industry-leading repair methods. Louisiana’s clay-heavy soil expands and contracts dramatically with seasonal moisture changes, which is a leading cause of foundation movement throughout Caddo Parish. Because our team understands these regional conditions, we diagnose root causes rather than just patching symptoms.
Structural Damage Repair for Homes
Structural damage rarely develops overnight. In most cases, homeowners notice small warning signs long before major structural failure occurs.
These issues often begin with foundation settlement, excessive moisture, deteriorated support members, poor drainage, or soil movement beneath the home. Left untreated, these problems can spread throughout the structural system.
Common indicators include:
- Interior drywall cracks
- Stair-step brick cracks
- Bowing or leaning walls
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Doors and windows that stick
- Gaps around trim
- Ceiling cracks
- Sagging floor systems
- Foundation cracks
- Separation between walls and ceilings
If you’ve noticed several of these symptoms, scheduling a structural inspection as soon as possible can help minimize future repair costs.
Residential Structural Repair
Crawl Space Structural Repair Services
Homes with crawl spaces often experience structural problems that remain hidden for years.
Excess moisture, wood rot, termite damage, weakened support beams, deteriorated floor joists, and unstable support columns can all reduce the structural capacity of the crawl space.
Our crawl space structural repair services may include:
- Replacing damaged floor joists
- Reinforcing support beams
- Installing supplemental supports
- Repairing structural wood
- Correcting sagging floors
- Moisture-related structural repairs
- Crawl space stabilization
Many homeowners first notice soft or uneven floors before realizing the problem originates beneath the home.
By repairing damaged structural components and improving overall support, we restore floor stability while protecting the home’s structural integrity.
Structural Concrete Repair for Cracked and Damaged Concrete
Structural concrete damage is more than a cosmetic concern. Cracks, spalling, settlement, or deteriorating concrete can reduce the load-bearing capacity of your home’s foundation and structural components if left untreated.
Our structural concrete repair services are designed to restore strength while addressing the underlying cause of the damage. Every repair begins with a thorough inspection to determine whether the concrete issue is related to foundation settlement, soil movement, water intrusion, reinforcing steel corrosion, or age-related deterioration.
Depending on the condition of your home, repairs may include concrete crack stabilization, structural reinforcement, foundation repairs, slab stabilization, or replacement of severely damaged structural sections. We use proven repair methods—not temporary surface patches—to help ensure long-lasting performance.
If you’ve noticed widening concrete cracks, sinking slabs, or structural movement around your home, scheduling an inspection early can prevent more extensive structural damage.

Frequently asked questions
Costs typically range from $500 for minor crack repairs to $15,000 or more for full foundation stabilization, depending on damage severity and repair method.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover structural or foundation repair caused by gradual soil movement, settling, or poor maintenance, since insurers classify this as a wear-and-tear issue rather than a sudden, covered peril.
Structural cracks are typically repaired through epoxy or polyurethane injection to seal the crack and restore strength, often paired with exterior waterproofing to prevent recurrence and, in severe cases, wall reinforcement with carbon fiber straps.
Any repair involving foundations, support beams, load-bearing walls, joists, or slabs that affects the home's structural integrity is considered a structural repair.
Project timelines depend on damage severity. Minor crack injections or small concrete repairs typically complete in a single day, while crawl space beam replacement usually takes one to three days. Pier installation for foundation stabilization generally requires two to five days, and comprehensive structural overhauls involving multiple repair types can take one to two weeks.
Full foundation underpinning or piering is typically the most expensive structural repair, often ranging from $8,000 to $20,000 or more, due to the extensive labor and engineering involved in stabilizing the entire structure.
A new 20x20 concrete slab typically costs between $2,400 and $6,000 depending on thickness, reinforcement, and site preparation, though repair of an existing slab is usually less expensive than full replacement.
Crawl space structural repair involves replacing rotted or damaged support beams and joists, installing additional support posts where needed, and addressing moisture sources like poor drainage or missing vapor barriers.
