Foundation repair in Hansford County, Texas, sits in the Panhandle, in a county with older homes. Census estimates put the median home at 1971, with 27.8% built before 1960 and only 13.8% in 1990 or later. Pier and beam is the usual guess for homes of that age and slab for newer ones, but the census never records foundation type. A house of that age has had many wet and dry seasons moving the ground under it.
The ground matters too. In a sample of 49 places around the centre of the county, 29 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. The commonest soils were Sherm with 18 places, Perryton with 9 and Potter with 6. High-rated clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries, which lifts and drops slabs and piers. None of the 49 places sat inside the 1% annual chance floodplain. The sample covers the area around the county's centre, not every street.
