Foundation repair in Spearman, up in the Texas Panhandle's Hansford County, deals with ground that leans toward heavy clay. Of 25 points sampled around the centre, 18 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. Perryton (10 points), Oslo (8 points) and Sunray (3 points) were the commonest soil series. Clay rated that high swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, and it lifts and drops slabs and piers as it does.
Flooding is not the pressure here. None of 25 land points in the same sample sit inside FEMA's mapped floodplain. The sample describes the area and not any one address, so a homeowner should still look up their own lot on FEMA's flood map. The median home in Spearman was built in 1972, and homes built before 1960 outnumber those built in 1990 or later, so many houses have had decades to settle.
