Foundation Repair in Rusk County, by town

Henderson 1

Flooding touches less of the sample. Only 3 of the 49 land points sit inside the 1% annual chance floodplain. That says nothing about any one address, so a homeowner should check their own zone on FEMA's flood map. Standing water near a house keeps the clay under it wet, and wet clay is the kind that moves.

The median home in Rusk County was built in 1980. Of all homes, 24.4% were built before 1960 and 35.3% in 1990 or later. Older Rusk County homes are the ones more likely to rest on pier and beam, with newer ones on slabs, though that is a general pattern and not census data.
