King William is San Antonio's first historic district, lined with 19th-century homes built by German merchants along the San Antonio River. Limestone block, wood-frame and brick homes here sit on some of the oldest foundations in the city, often on stone or wood piers set in river-influenced soils.
We provide careful pier and beam foundation repair and foundation drainage correction for King William and Southtown homes, respecting the district's historic character. We also serve Tobin Hill and Monte Vista.

Foundation Repair in King William — Local Notes
- •Soils near the San Antonio River can hold more moisture than upland areas.
- •Stone and masonry foundations may need specialized repair rather than standard pilings.
- •Exterior changes in the district may require Office of Historic Preservation review.
