Lufkin Soil Characteristics As They Affect Foundation Repair
According to the United States Census Bureau, Lufkin has a total area of 26.8 square miles of which 0.1 square mile (0.48%) is surface water. It rests upon the Gulf Coastal Plain at an elevation of 312 feet. The Gulf Coastal Plain is a large area of flat to rolling terrain that was formed by the deposit of sediments over thousands of years. These sediments contain a large percentage of clay and clay soils that are known to expand and shrink with changes in moisture content. This characteristic of clay soils, expansion and contraction, creates both vertical and horizontal soil movement. The annual and constant movement of clay soils under a rigid concrete slab foundation has the potential to create severe damage such as uplift, collapse, and/or cracking.
