Foundation, crawl space and concrete leveling in Charlotte, NC

It depends on where in Charlotte the home sits. The USDA soil sample inside the city reads Cecil clay with a low rating for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes volume very little between wet and dry. The USDA survey across Mecklenburg County, which also takes in Wilkes, Enon and Monacan soils, reads moderate. Because the reading can differ from one part of the county to the next, our inspector checks the soil and the foundation at your home before recommending a repair.
