Foundation Repair in Brazoria County, TX

Water shapes foundation repair in Brazoria County more than any other single fact. In a sample of 49 points over about 21 miles around the centre of the county, 4 fell on water. Of the other 45, 27 sat inside the 1% annual chance floodplain. Your own address may sit in a different zone, so look it up on FEMA's flood map. Standing water near a foundation keeps the clay under it wet, and that is the problem to watch.

The soil is the second reason. Of the 45 land points, 34 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 25 of those were very high. The commonest soil series were Pledger and Lake Charles at 9 points each, then Asa at 5. That clay expands in wet spells and contracts in dry ones, so a house on it can rise and fall with the weather. The sample describes the area around the centre, not every street or town.

The homes are mostly recent. The median home in Brazoria County was built in 1995. Of the homes, 7.9% were built before 1960 and 57.5% in 1990 or later. As a general pattern, newer Texas homes are more often slab. The census does not record foundation type.
