What we fix
What Problems Do We Fix in Myrtle Grove?
Floor Cracks
Cracks in a concrete slab, or in tile and grout, can be cosmetic, or they can be the floor reacting to a foundation that 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 Myrtle Grove Built On?
The most common soil in the USDA sample inside Myrtle Grove is Leon, a deep sandy soil. In a USDA sample of five points inside Myrtle Grove, two are Leon, one is Murville, one is Lakeland and one is Bohicket. Across New Hanover County as a whole, the most common soil is Murville, covering more than a tenth of the land, followed by Leon, Kureb and Bohicket. The USDA rates the sample inside Myrtle Grove low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
Leon is a deep soil that formed from old marine deposits of the Coastal Plain, usually found on low, flat ground. It is sand from the top layer down. It drains poorly to very poorly, and it can hold water at or near the surface for much of the year.
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
- FoundationsSoil that stays wet can stay soft under a footing, and water moving through sand can carry soil out from under it. Look for uneven floors and a settling foundation. 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 groundwater seeping into the crawl space and moisture in the crawl space. 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 rotted floor joists, and broken or cracked 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 broken or sunken sidewalks, and a cracked driveway. See concrete leveling.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Myrtle Grove, the survey maps Leon, Murville and Lakeland series. USDA rates the soil low for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 2.7 percent). Across New Hanover County, it maps Murville, Leon, Kureb and Bohicket series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Leon and Murville.
