What Soil Is Apex Built On?
All five points the USDA sampled inside Apex are Creedmoor soil, a deep brownish yellow clay. Countywide, the most common soil in Wake County is Pacolet, on about a tenth of the land, with Cecil, Wedowee and Rawlings behind it. The USDA rates the sample inside Apex moderate for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells noticeably when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries.
Creedmoor is a deep soil that formed in place as the sandstone, siltstone and shale beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is coarse sandy loam, and under that is brownish yellow clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains somewhat slowly, and it can stay wet near the surface for part of the year.
What It Means for Your Home
- FoundationsClay in this ground can push on a foundation in wet months and pull back in dry ones, and over time that can crack walls and let part of a house settle. Look for cracks that step up through brick or block, and doors and windows that stick. See foundation repair.
- Crawl spacesClay stays damp after long rains and adds moisture to the air under a house, which can lead to musty odors, mold and wood rot over time. Look for higher energy bills and moisture in the crawl space. See crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation.
- Floor framingWhen the ground under the piers shifts, the beams and joists above can move out of level, and damp air can soften the wood. Look for broken or cracked joists, and sagging floor joists. See framing repair.
- ConcreteClay that swells and shrinks can lift and drop driveways, walks and patios unevenly. Look for a cracked garage floor and uneven slabs. See concrete leveling.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Apex, the survey maps Creedmoor series. USDA rates the soil moderate for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 3.6 percent). Across Wake County, it maps Pacolet, Cecil, Wedowee and Rawlings series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Creedmoor.
