Wikipedia describes most Little Elm residents as living in single-family homes, "usually in master-planned subdivisions built between the late 1990s and late 2010s." The town went from 3,646 residents in 2000 to 25,898 in 2010 and 46,453 in 2020. Central Little Elm is surrounded on three sides by the lake, and about 4 of its 18.6 square miles are water.
Homes of that age may sit on post-tensioned slabs. Read slab foundation repair before anyone drills, and check whether any builder warranty still applies.
Permits
We couldn't find a published Town of Little Elm document on foundation repair permits, so we won't guess. Before work starts, ask the town's building safety division whether your repair needs a permit and engineer-sealed plans. Most of the neighboring cities on this site require both; see The Colony and Prosper.
