Foundation Repair in Collin County, TX

Looking for foundation repair in Collin County means working with clay. A sample of 49 points across an area about 21 miles wide, around the centre of the county, found 6 on water. Of the other 43, 30 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 25 of those were rated very high. The commonest soil was Houston Black at 17 points, then Austin at 10 and Lewisville at 5. The reading comes from USDA soil data and describes the area around the centre of the county, not every town or every street.

Clay with a high shrink-swell rating swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, and that movement lifts and drops slabs and piers. For a homeowner, the soil names above are a guide to what sits under the middle of the county. The ground at your own address can differ, so it is fair to ask any business what it finds there.

Water is the second thing to check. In the same sample, 8 of the 43 land points sit inside the 1% annual chance floodplain on FEMA's flood map. That describes the area, not any one address, and a homeowner can look up their own zone on FEMA's flood map. It matters for a foundation because standing water near a house keeps the clay under it wet, and wet clay is the clay that swells.

Most homes here are fairly new. The US Census American Community Survey puts the median home in Collin County at 2002, with 2.0% built before 1960 and 75.6% built in 1990 or later. Older Texas homes lean toward pier and beam and newer ones toward slab, in general. The census never records foundation type, so that is a loose guide only. The businesses below cover both. Steady House Foundation Repair works on slab and pier and beam homes from its Plano office, and Smart Foundation Repair McKinney handles house leveling and pier and beam repair.
