Wichita County has one foundation town and a long list of older homes. The median home here was built in 1972. Of the homes, 31.5% were built before 1960 and 22.4% in 1990 or later. In general, Texas houses from earlier decades are more often pier and beam, and later ones are more often slab. The census does not record foundation type, so that is a guide only. It does fit the trade here: Falls Foundation Repair names pier and beam work as its specialty.
The soil adds to it. In a sample of 49 points over about 21 miles around the centre of Wichita County, 5 fell on water. Of the other 44, 25 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. The commonest soil series were Tillman and Kamay at 7 points each, then Deandale at 4. When this clay takes on water it swells, and when it dries out it shrinks, so slabs and piers above it get pushed up and let down. This describes the area around the centre, not every street.
For flooding, 6 of the 44 land points in the sample sit inside the 1% annual chance floodplain. FEMA's flood map shows the zone for an individual address. Water standing near a foundation keeps the clay under it wet.
