What Problems Do We Fix in Murraysville?
Sinking Foundation
When part of your home is dropping because the soil beneath it can no longer hold the load, the signs show up as cracks, sticking doors, and floors that pull away from level.
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 Soil Is Murraysville Built On?
Seagate and Murville are the most common soils in the USDA sample inside Murraysville. Of the five points the USDA sampled inside Murraysville, two are Seagate, two are Murville and one is Woodington. Countywide, the most common soil in New Hanover County is Murville, on more than a tenth of the land, with Leon, Kureb and Bohicket behind it. The USDA rates the sample inside Murraysville low for swelling and shrinking.
Seagate is a deep soil that formed from old marine deposits of the Coastal Plain, usually found on Coastal Plain terraces. It is sandy for about the top three feet, and under that is light gray clay loam. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains somewhat slowly, and it can stay wet near the surface for part of the year. The USDA rates it low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
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
- What works in your favorSeagate changes size very little as it wets and dries, so the ground under the footings stays steady from season to season.
- FoundationsSoil that stays wet can stay soft under a footing, and water moving through sand can carry soil out from under it. Look for a sinking foundation and cracks in the floor. See foundation repair.
- Crawl spacesWater close to the surface can mean standing water and damp air in a crawl space for much of the year. Look for moisture in the crawl space and sagging floors. See crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation.
- Floor framingWater close to the surface keeps the air under a house humid, and joists and beams that stay damp can rot and weaken. Look for sagging floor joists and rotted floor joists. See framing repair.
- ConcreteSlabs on ground that stays wet can settle unevenly, and water running under a slab can wash sand out from beneath it. Look for uneven slabs and a cracked garage floor. See concrete leveling.
