Two soil series cover most of the ground sampled around the centre of Kerr County. In a sample of 49 points across an area about 21 miles wide, Harper covers 19 points and Eckrant 15, with Tarpley at 3. Of all 49 points, 31 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 8 of those are very high. That frames foundation repair in Kerr County: clay swells when it takes on water and shrinks as it dries, and a slab or pier moves with it.
The sample describes the area around the county's centre. It does not describe every town, and it cannot tell you about one lot. Water is part of the picture. In the same sample, 6 of 49 land points sit inside the 1% annual chance floodplain, and wet ground by a foundation keeps clay swollen. FEMA's flood map shows the zone at your own address.
The median home in Kerr County was built in 1987. Of all homes, 12.9% were built before 1960 and 44.1% in 1990 or later. Kerr County's older houses are the likelier ones to stand on pier and beam, and its newer ones on a slab, as a rough Texas rule. The census does not record foundation type.
