(915) 219-3806 Foundation repair in Texas often starts with clay soil, but a sample of 25 points around the centre of El Paso found none on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. The commonest soil series were Delnorte and Cavalry at 5 points each, then Rock outcrop at 4 points. Clay of the high kind swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, which lifts and drops slabs and piers. The sample did not turn that clay up, so the area around the centre does not show that cycle. Nothing in it applies to a single address.
None of the 25 land points in the same sample sit inside the floodplain FEMA maps. A homeowner still checks their own address on FEMA's flood map, because standing water near a foundation keeps the soil under it wet. The median home in El Paso was built in 1983, and more homes there date from 1990 or later than from before 1960. As a general pattern, older Texas homes are more often pier and beam and newer ones slab, though the census does not record foundation type.
