Foundation Repair in Del Valle, TX

The soil is the first thing to know about this town. In a sample of 25 points around the centre of Del Valle, 17 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 12 of those were very high. Houston Black was the commonest series at 6 points, then Lewisville and Bergstrom at 5 each. Clay in those classes 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, not one street.

Water is part of the story as well. 7 of the 25 land points in the same sample sit inside the mapped floodplain. That is a sample of the area, so a homeowner should check their own lot on FEMA's flood map. Puddles that sit beside a house keep the clay below it wet.
