Soil Characteristics As They Affect Foundation Repair in The Woodlands, Texas
The Woodlands consists of 23.9 square miles of area, of which 98% is land area and 2% is surface water. The area is considered subtropical and is heavily forested with pine and other trees. The terrain is flat or rolling hills. The Woodlands rests upon a larger geographical area known as the Gulf Coastal Plains. This large plain consists of sediment that was deposited over thousands of years. These sediments have a very high concentration of clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. This swelling and shrinking causes both vertical and horizontal movement that can severly damage the rigid concrete slab foundations of homes and other properties.
