Foundation repair in Texas usually brings clay to mind, but a sample of 25 points around the centre of Midland did not find the worst of it. None of the 25 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. The commonest soil series were Amarillo (9 points), Sharvana (3 points) and Arvana (3 points).
That matters because clay rated high for shrink-swell swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, and that cycle lifts and drops slabs and piers. In this sample, that kind of clay did not show up. A house on a different part of town can still differ, so a homeowner with a crack should have it looked at in person.
