How Does High Point Soil Affect Foundations?
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.
What It Means for Your Home
- What works in your favorMecklenburg drains well, so the soil beside a foundation usually dries out after a storm.
- What to watchClay in this ground swells as it takes on water and shrinks as it dries, so the soil beside and under a foundation can push in wet months and pull back in dry ones. Over many seasons that movement can crack walls and let one part of a house settle more than another.
- Signs you might noticeLook for doors and windows that stick, cracks in drywall, and bowing walls.
- How we address itWe match the repair to what the inspection finds. That can mean push piers or helical piers under a settling section, wall anchors to stabilize a bowing wall, or foundation crack repair.
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 Foundation Repair in High Point?
The right repair depends mostly on what is happening in the ground beneath your home. We diagnose the cause first, then explain the options in plain language.
Depending on what we find, a repair may use steel piers that reach firmer soil under a settling footing, crack injection to seal a stable crack, reinforcement for a bowing basement wall, or lifting a sunken slab back toward level. You can compare every method we install on our foundation repair solutions page.
Every repair starts with a free foundation inspection, so you understand the problem before you decide anything.
Warranty terms, with their conditions, are on our warranties page.
