- Repairs foundations
- Slab foundations
- Pier and beam
Foundation repair in Jackson County is mostly work on clay. In a sample of 49 points across an area about 21 miles wide around the centre of the county, 1 fell on water. Of the other 48, 43 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 19 of those were rated very high. Dacosta was the commonest soil series at 16 points, then Laewest at 14 and Texana at 5.
Ground like that swells in a wet spell and shrinks in a dry one, and a slab or pier resting on it rises and falls with it. The sample describes the area around the centre of the county, so it cannot say what lies under one lot. Another 7 of the 48 land points sat inside the 1% annual chance floodplain. FEMA's flood map shows the zone for a single address.
