Foundation Repair in Temple, TX

Temple has some of the stiffest clay a sample can show. Of 25 points around the centre of Temple, 14 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 10 of those were rated very high. Austin soil covered 6 points, Houston Black 5 and Purves 4. That clay balloons after rain and draws back when it dries, so slabs and piers get pushed up and let down. It is a big reason foundation repair in Texas stays busy around here.

Floodplain is a smaller worry. One of the 25 land points sits inside the floodplain on FEMA's flood map. Even so, ground that stays wet beside a house feeds the clay, so look up your own address on FEMA's map. The median home in Temple was built in 1990. Houses from around then lean toward slabs, as a rule of thumb the census does not confirm.
