What Soil Is Indian Trail Built On?
Tarrus and Cid are the most common soils in the USDA sample inside Indian Trail. Of the five points the USDA sampled inside Indian Trail, two are Tarrus, two are Cid and one is Badin. Countywide, the most common soil in Union County is Badin, on about a third of the land, with Tarrus, Cid and Goldston behind it. The USDA rates the sample inside Indian Trail moderate for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells noticeably when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries.
Tarrus is a deep soil that formed in place as the slate and other fine rock of the Carolina Slate Belt beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is silt loam, and under that is red clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains well.
Cid is a moderately deep soil that formed in place as the slate and other fine rock of the Carolina Slate Belt beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Soft, weathered bedrock lies within a few feet of the surface. Its top layer is silt loam, and under that is brownish yellow silty clay loam. It drains somewhat slowly, and it can stay wet near the surface for part of the year.
What It Means for Your Home
- What works in your favorTarrus drains well, so the soil beside a foundation usually dries out after a storm.
- FoundationsClay in this ground can push on a foundation in wet months and pull back in dry ones, and over time that can crack walls and let part of a house settle. Look for cracks that step up through brick or block, and doors and windows that stick. 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 framingWhen the ground under the piers shifts, the beams and joists above can move out of level, and damp air can soften the wood. Look for sagging floor joists and rotted floor joists. See framing repair.
- ConcreteClay that swells and shrinks can lift and drop driveways, walks and patios unevenly. Look for a cracked driveway and raised slab edges you can trip on. See concrete leveling.

What Homeowners Say About Our Matthews Office
Dalton & Jeremiah crew was very professional and driven to find our problem and solutions! Thank hydrohelp911 for everything!
HydroHelp was great from start to finish. Danny came out twice when we had additional questions and Jeremy and his crew came to complete the work and were great the whole time. Jeremy answered questions during the process and was super communicative. He made sure multiple times that we were happy with different areas that needed leveling. He checked and double checked measurements and was very kind when we did have questions. Jeremy made sure that the crew kept everything clean and neat before leaving for the day. The communication from our contacts at hydroHelp has been been great. The work was great. And the overall cleanliness and consideration of everyone has been great. I appreciate the quality of work and professionalism that we have had from everyone at HydroHelp!
I have not had any service done yet, however, Peyton scheduled my estimate quickly and was very professional and courteous on the phone.
