Foundation Repair in Williamson County, TX

The soil under Williamson County is where foundation repair here begins. A sample of 49 points across an area about 21 miles wide, around the centre of the county, found 33 on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 20 of those were very high. The commonest soils were Eckrant at 9 points, Houston Black at 8 and Branyon at 7. Clay rated high or very high swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, which lifts and drops slabs and piers. The sample describes the area around the centre of the county, not every town or street.

Water is the next check. In the same sample, 6 of the 49 land points sit inside the 1% annual chance floodplain on FEMA's flood map. That describes the area and not any one address, so a homeowner should look up their own zone on FEMA's flood map. Pooled water next to a house keeps the clay under it wet.

The county also has a rule about floodplains. In the unincorporated Brushy Creek area, Williamson County asks owners to contact its Road & Bridge Division for a Certification of Compliance, a permit that verifies whether the property is in a flood plain. If the property is inside a city or its extraterritorial jurisdiction, check with that city instead. The county FAQ also appears to say that the county has not adopted the optional residential building code authority and does not require new residential construction to conform to any building code. Confirm with the county before assuming a building permit applies to a repair.

Homes here are new. The US Census American Community Survey puts the median home in Williamson County at 2005, with 2.6% built before 1960 and 78.6% built in 1990 or later. Among Texas homes, the older ones are more often pier and beam and the newer ones more often slab, as a general pattern. The census records no foundation type, so use that as a rough guide only. The businesses on this page work on both. Round Rock Foundation Repair Group repairs slab and pier and beam foundations in Round Rock and Leander, and Georgetown Foundation Repair Solutions does the same in Georgetown, Round Rock, Jarrell and Liberty Hill.
