Foundation Repair in Jones County, TX

Old houses set the scene for foundation repair in Jones County, Texas. Census estimates put the median home at 1969, with 37.7% built before 1960 and 24.4% in 1990 or later. Houses of that age lean pier and beam in the general pattern, with slab more common in newer ones, and the census does not record foundation type. Houses of that age have lived through many wet and dry seasons.

The ground adds to it. In a sample of 49 places around the centre of Jones County, 15 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. The commonest soils were Sagerton with 9 places, then Spur and Rowena with 7 each. Clay at that rating swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, which can lift and drop slabs and piers. In the same sample, 6 of 49 places sat inside the 1% annual chance floodplain. The sample covers the area around the county's centre, not every town or street, and FEMA's flood map shows the zone for your own address.
