Why Plano Foundations Fail
Forensic Soil Report for Zip 75093
Recent drought cycles in Plano have accelerated soil shrinkage. If you own a home on Austin silty clay, 2 to 5 percent slopes, moderately eroded, your slab is under stress.
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 Plano
Active Zone Management
With a Plasticity Index of 28.0, this soil expands with enough force to lift a 40-ton slab. The priority is bypassing this "active zone" using steel piers locked into load-bearing strata.
- Recommendation: Deep steel piers.
- Focus: Soaker hoses in summer.
Standard piering methods are effective if depth is verified.
