What Soil Is Garner Built On?
Cecil and Wedowee are the most common soils in the USDA sample inside Garner. Of the five points the USDA sampled inside Garner, two are Cecil, two are Wedowee and one is Pacolet. 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 Garner low for swelling and shrinking.
Cecil is a deep soil that formed in place as pale rock such as granite and gneiss beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is red clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains well, and the USDA rates it low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
Wedowee is a deep soil that formed in place as pale rock such as granite and gneiss beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is strong brown clay. It drains well, and the USDA rates it low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
What It Means for Your Home
- What works in your favorCecil drains well, so the soil beside a foundation usually dries out after a storm. It also changes size very little as it wets and dries, so the ground under the footings stays steady from season to season.
- FoundationsWater that collects against a foundation can keep the clay there soft, and soft clay can let a footing settle. Look for gaps around windows and doors, and uneven floors. See foundation repair.
- Crawl spacesEven soil that drains well can stay wet where roof runoff collects, and the ground still adds moisture to the air under a house, which can lead to musty odors, mold and wood rot over time. Look for deteriorating insulation and higher energy bills. See crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation.
- Floor framingDamp air under a house can rot and weaken joists and beams over time, which can show up as sagging or bouncy floors. Look for sagging floor joists and rotted floor joists. See framing repair.
- ConcreteSoftened clay where runoff collects can let part of a slab sink. Look for uneven slabs and a cracked driveway. See concrete leveling.

What Homeowners Say About Our Greensboro Office
Parker, Tavo, and Jake did an amazing job repairing my sinking cement deck around the pool. The deck had sunk over an inch in one area and they were able to completely even it out. They were very professional, kept me informed throughout process and answered all my questions. I would have no problem hiring this company again.
