What we fix
What Problems Do We Fix in Mint Hill?
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 likeCracked Garage Floor
A garage floor is a concrete slab poured directly on soil, so it relies on the ground beneath it to stay flat and supported. When that ground moves or washes out, the slab cracks.

What Soil Is Mint Hill Built On?
All five points the USDA sampled inside Mint Hill are Cecil soil, a deep red clay. The county survey for Mecklenburg County puts Cecil on more than a third of the land, ahead of Wilkes, Enon and Monacan. The USDA rates the sample inside Mint Hill 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 gaps around windows and doors, and uneven floors. 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 rotted floor joists, and broken or cracked 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 Mint Hill, the survey maps Cecil series. USDA rates the soil low for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 1.5 percent). Across Mecklenburg County, it maps Cecil, Wilkes, Enon and Monacan series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Cecil.

What Homeowners Say About Our Matthews Office
Hydrohelp did a fantastic job with my foundation repair. JJ explained the job & what would be required to repair at the consultation. Parker and Tavo worked diligently to complete the job keeping me updated with photos and concerns as they progressed. They were true to their word when theu told me when they would arrive. Over all a very professional job and crew.
Workers were on time. They never stopped working for two days of constant working. I rated the job excellent work. I highly recommend this company In last couple weeks I have contacted HdroHelp911 and they responded quickly, no delay and took care of the problem
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!
