Foundation Repair in Lufkin, TX

Every foundation repair contractor in Angelina County and Nacogdoches County

Foundation repair in Lufkin starts with the ground under the house. Soil was checked at 25 points around the centre of Lufkin, and 1 of them was water. Of the other 24, 8 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. The commonest soil series were Fuller at 7 points, then Alazan and Kurth at 5 points each. Clay in those classes swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, and that movement lifts and drops slabs and piers.

This is a sample of the area around the centre, so it cannot describe one street or one lot. What it does tell a homeowner is that a share of the ground here moves with the weather, and a crack or a sticking door can have that cause. The same sample found 1 of 24 land points inside the mapped floodplain. FEMA's flood map shows the zone for any one address. Standing water near a foundation keeps the clay under it wet, so drainage work often comes up in the same conversation as piers.

The homes here are mixed in age. The median home in Lufkin was built in 1980. About 19.1% of homes went up before 1960, and 32.7% in 1990 or later. As a general pattern, older Texas homes are more often pier and beam and newer ones are more often slab. The census does not record foundation type, so that is only a rule of thumb.
