How Expansive Texas Clay Affects Slab Foundations
Over 85% of modern homes in Denton, Texas are constructed using concrete slab-on-grade foundations. While concrete is exceptionally strong under compression, it possesses very limited flexibility. As North Texas expansive clay soil goes through severe dry-shrink and wet-swell seasons, the soil under your perimeter footing shrinks away.
Without uniform soil bearing support, the perimeter grade beams begin to sag under the multi-ton weight of your brick exterior walls. This causes diagonal shear cracks across concrete floors, broken underground plumbing pipes, and severe wall cracks inside the home.
