Foundation Repair in Bowie County, TX

Foundation repair in Bowie County is a Texarkana trade. All four businesses on this page are based there, and no other town in the county has one on the page. With so few towns to sort through, the ground under the houses is the better place to start.

In a sample of 49 points across an area about 21 miles wide around the centre of Bowie County, 2 fell on water. Of the other 47, 29 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 5 of those are rated very high. The commonest soil series were Woodtell at 6 points, then Blevins and Annona at 5 points each. Clay rated this way swells when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries, and a slab or a pier rides up and down with it. The sample describes the area around the centre of the county. It does not describe every town or any one street.

Water matters on the same clay. In that sample, 12 of 47 land points sit inside the 1% annual chance floodplain. Standing water beside a foundation keeps the clay under it wet, so a homeowner should look up their own address on FEMA's flood map. A county sample cannot say what is true at one lot.
