What Soil Is Leland Built On?
The most common soil in the USDA sample inside Leland is Foreston, a sandy soil over brownish yellow fine sandy loam. The USDA sampled five points inside Leland: two are Foreston, one is Murville, one is Baymeade and one is Torhunta. The wider county survey for Brunswick County leads with Baymeade, at about a tenth of the land, then Torhunta, Leon and Murville. The USDA rates the sample inside Leland low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
Foreston is a soil that formed from old marine deposits of the Coastal Plain, usually found on nearly level ground in the Coastal Plain. Its top layer is fine sand, and under that is brownish yellow fine sandy loam. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains a little slowly, so it can stay wet for short periods in a wet season.
Murville is a soil that formed from old marine and river deposits of the Coastal Plain. It is fine sand from the top layer down. It holds water at or near the surface for much of the year.
What It Means for Your Home
- FoundationsWater moving through sand can carry soil out from under a footing or let it settle. Look for a sinking foundation and a settling foundation. See foundation repair.
- Crawl spacesWhere groundwater rises after heavy rain, it can come up into a crawl space through the sand, and humid air through open vents adds to it. Look for moisture in the crawl space and sagging floors. 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.
- ConcreteWater can wash sand out from under a slab and leave a hollow, and the concrete over it can crack and sink. Look for a cracked garage floor, and broken or sunken sidewalks. See concrete leveling.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Leland, the survey maps Foreston, Murville and Baymeade series. USDA rates the soil low for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 1.5 percent). Across Brunswick County, it maps Baymeade, Torhunta, Leon and Murville series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Foreston and Murville.
