What we fix
What Problems Do We Fix in Wilson?
Improper Drainage
When water is not carried away from the house, it saturates the soil next to the footings and can build pressure against basement and crawl space walls.
What this looks likeGroundwater Seepage
When the water table climbs or the ground around the house stays saturated, water can push up through the crawl space floor and pool against the foundation.
What this looks likeUneven Concrete Slabs
When a driveway, patio, walkway, or garage floor sits uneven, the soil under it has usually moved.

What Soil Is Wilson Built On?
The most common soil in the USDA sample inside Wilson is Rains, a deep gray sandy clay loam. In a USDA sample of five points inside Wilson, two are Rains and one is Gritney. The other two points fall on ground the survey does not name as a natural soil, such as urban land or water. The wider county survey for Wilson County leads with Norfolk, at about a fifth of the land, then Rains, Goldsboro and Bibb. The USDA rates the sample inside Wilson low for swelling and shrinking.
Rains is a deep soil that formed from old marine and river deposits of the Coastal Plain, usually found on low, flat ground. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is gray sandy clay loam. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It stays wet for long periods, often with water close to the surface. The USDA rates it low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
Gritney is a deep soil, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is fine sandy loam, and under that is yellowish brown clay. It drains a little slowly, so it can stay wet for short periods in a wet season.
What It Means for Your Home
- What works in your favorRains 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 cracks in the floor and uneven floors. 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 a cracked driveway and uneven slabs. See concrete leveling.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Wilson, the survey maps Rains and Gritney series. USDA rates the soil low for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 2.4 percent). Across Wilson County, it maps Norfolk, Rains, Goldsboro and Bibb series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Rains and Gritney.
