Start with the ground. A sample of 25 points in an area about 5 miles across around the centre of Houston found 6 on urban land with no soil reading. Of the other 19, 5 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 2 of those were rated very high. The commonest soil series was Gessner, at 6 points. Bernard and Lake Charles followed with 2 points each. Clay in the high and very high classes swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries. That movement lifts and drops slabs and piers. The sample describes the area around the centre and no single street or lot, so a homeowner with cracks or a sloping floor still needs someone to look at the house itself.

Water is the other half of the story. In the same sample, 3 of 25 land points sit inside the FEMA floodplain, the zone with a one-in-a-hundred chance of flooding in any year. That is a sample of the area, not an address, and a homeowner can look up their own zone on FEMA's flood map. Standing water near a foundation keeps the clay under it wet, which is one reason drainage work shows up so often in the services here. Guatex Foundation & Structural Solutions builds custom French drains. Valued Foundation Repair does drainage systems and root barrier installation. Star Techn Foundation Repair, rated 5.0 from 268 reviews, specializes in pier and beam work and raises homes for owners in flood zones or those who need more clearance.

The median home in Houston was built in 1981. Of every hundred homes, 17.2 went up before 1960 and 37.7 in 1990 or later. Older Texas homes are more often pier and beam, and newer ones are more often slab. That is a general pattern, not something the census records, and both kinds of work are on offer here. Star Techn levels houses with hydraulic jacks and installs steel piers. Valued Foundation Repair replaces block and beam supports and can add helical piers. Baird Foundation Repair levels pier and beam homes and repairs crawl spaces.
