The ground in High Point
How Does High Point Soil Affect Basements?
The USDA sample inside High Point is mostly Mecklenburg soil, a deep yellowish red clay. Of the five points the USDA sampled inside High Point, three are Mecklenburg, one is Vance and one is Enon. Across Guilford County as a whole, the most common soil is Enon, covering about a fifth of the land, followed by Cecil, Clifford and Mecklenburg. The USDA rates the sample inside High Point moderate for swelling and shrinking.
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. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains well, and the USDA rates it moderate for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells noticeably when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries.
Vance is a moderately deep soil that formed in place as pale rock such as granite and gneiss beneath it weathered. Soft, weathered rock lies a few feet down, and hard bedrock lies much deeper. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is yellowish brown clay. It drains well.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside High Point, the survey maps Mecklenburg, Vance and Enon series. USDA rates the soil moderate for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 5.5 percent). Across Guilford County, it maps Enon, Cecil, Clifford and Mecklenburg series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Mecklenburg and Vance.
Our approach
How Do We Approach Basement Waterproofing in High Point?
A wet basement in High Point 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.
