The Dirt Reader
A Central Texas field guide to expansive clay, shifting foundations, driveway clues, and the questions a homeowner should take to a licensed professional.
Field notes
The guide separates seasonal expansive-clay movement from one-time settling, then maps the issue onto Central Texas terrain and household evidence such as roads, driveways, slabs, and drainage. Its walk-around tool contains 17 checks and offers text equivalents for interactive sections. The page cites USDA descriptions of Houston Black and Branyon soils, including reported dry-surface crack widths, while repeatedly directing readers to a licensed professional for property-specific conclusions.
