Foundation Repair in Fredericksburg, TX

Fredericksburg's soil sample is mixed. Of 25 points around the centre of the town, 7 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 1 of those was very high. The commonest soil series were Pedernales at 5 points, Heaton at 4 and Luckenbach at 3. Clay like that soaks up water, expands, then contracts in dry spells, and slabs and piers rise and fall with it. For foundation repair in Texas, that means some parts of the Fredericksburg area carry the risk and most of the sampled points did not. Only a look at the particular lot settles it.

None of the 25 land points in the same sample sit inside the floodplain FEMA maps, though a homeowner checks their own address on FEMA's flood map to be sure. The median home in Fredericksburg was built in 1985. More homes there date from 1990 or later than from before 1960, though a good number are older. Pier and beam tends to turn up in older houses and slab in newer ones, a broad habit rather than a census fact.
