What Problems Do We Fix in Greenville?
Uneven Floors
Sloping, dipping, or bouncy floors are one of the clearest signs that the support beneath your home has moved.
What this looks likeSagging Floors
In most Carolinas homes, the cause of a floor that sags or feels bouncy is wood rot or weakened joists in a damp crawl space underneath.
What this looks likeTripping Hazards
A raised or sunken slab edge along a walkway, driveway, or patio usually starts when the soil under the slab moves and the concrete follows it.

What Soil Is Greenville Built On?
All five points the USDA sampled inside Greenville are Cecil soil, a deep red clay. The county survey for Greenville County puts Cecil on about a third of the land, ahead of Pacolet, Hiwassee and Edneytown. The USDA rates the sample inside Greenville 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.
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 cracks that step up through brick or block, and gaps around windows and doors. 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 sagging floors and deteriorating insulation. 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 broken or cracked joists, and sagging floor joists. See framing repair.
- ConcreteSoftened clay where runoff collects can let part of a slab sink. Look for a cracked driveway and raised slab edges you can trip on. See concrete leveling.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Greenville, the survey maps Cecil series. USDA rates the soil low for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 1.56 percent). Across Greenville County, it maps Cecil, Pacolet, Hiwassee and Edneytown series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Cecil.

Incredible customer support and assistance! Thomas Gibbs came out to check out our floors and found no structural damage but did find a water leak that we would have never known about otherwise! Super helpful and kind! I absolutely recommend.
Jeremy, Dakota and Justin were professional, friendly and went above and beyond to keep me informed and make sure that I understood all phases of the project. I would highly recommend them.
