Critical limit is 25.0.
Vertical movement potential.
Why Shallow Repairs Fail vs. Our Solution
Visual Proof: While concrete cylinders sit in the "Active Zone" (expanding/shrinking clay), our steel piers penetrate until they hit load-bearing strata (refusal).
Engineer's Action Plan for Houston
Moisture Maintenance
Your soil Risk Level is Moderate (PI: 4.0). Major structural failure is less likely if drainage is managed correctly. Ensure gutters extend 5ft from the foundation.
- Focus: Root barriers for large trees.
- Routine: Bi-annual plumb level checks.
Preventative maintenance is the highest ROI strategy here.
