The ground in Concord
How Does Concord Soil Affect Basements?
The USDA sample inside Concord is mostly Iredell soil, a brown clay. In a USDA sample of five points inside Concord, three are Iredell, one is Mecklenburg and one is Cecil. Countywide, the most common soil in Cabarrus County is Enon, on more than a tenth of the land, with Cecil, Badin and Mecklenburg behind it. The USDA rates the sample inside Concord very high for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells a lot when it gets wet and shrinks a lot as it dries.
Iredell is a soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on Piedmont uplands. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is brown clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains a little slowly, so it can stay wet for short periods in a wet season.
Mecklenburg is a deep soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is loam, and under that is yellowish red clay. It drains well.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Concord, the survey maps Iredell, Mecklenburg and Cecil series. USDA rates the soil very high for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 11.5 percent). Across Cabarrus County, it maps Enon, Cecil, Badin and Mecklenburg series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Iredell and Mecklenburg.
Our approach
How Do We Approach Basement Waterproofing in Concord?
A wet basement in Concord almost always traces back to water pressure in the ground around the home. That pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, pushes moisture through tiny cracks, through porous block, and up through the seam where the wall meets the slab.
We start every project with an inspection to find where the water is actually entering, then explain what we see in plain terms before recommending anything.
Depending on the cause, the answer may be an interior drainage and sump system that manages water that reaches the wall, a basement vapor barrier that stops ground humidity, targeted crack repair that seals a specific leak, or a combination.
If the issue is simple humidity with no active water intrusion, we will tell you that too. The goal is a basement you can use, diagnosed and matched to the right system.
Warranty terms, with their conditions, are on our warranties page.
How Much Rain and Humidity Does Concord Get?
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Concord weather station, about 3 miles away, a normal year brings 47.9 inches of precipitation and about 74 days with a low of 32 degrees or colder, and July air carries an average dew point of about 68 degrees.
Climate: NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals, the Concord weather station and Charlotte Douglas Airport.
