The ground under Leander moves with the weather. In a sample of 25 points around the centre of Leander, 16 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 2 of those were very high. Eckrant was the commonest soil series at 11 points. Brackett came next at 4 points and Doss at 3. Clay in the high classes soaks up rain and swells, then dries out and pulls back. A slab or a pier sitting on it can rise in one spot and sink in another. The sample describes the area around the centre of town. It says nothing about one street or one lot.

Flood risk showed up at one point only. Just 1 of the 25 land points sat inside the floodplain on FEMA's national map. That is a picture of the area and not a ruling on any address, so a homeowner should look up their own zone on FEMA's flood map. Water that pools beside a house keeps the clay under it wet, and wet clay swells, so drainage matters even for a home well outside the floodplain.

Leander is a young town. The median home was built in 2012, and almost all of the homes went up in 1990 or later. Very few date from before 1960. As a general pattern, newer Texas homes sit on slabs and older ones are more often pier and beam. The census does not record foundation type, so treat that as a pattern and not a count. For a Leander homeowner it means the common repair question is about a slab.
