Foundation Issues in Kyle & Buda
Kyle and Buda are booming along I-35 — and built on some of the most active Blackland clay in the corridor. Here’s what local homeowners should know.
Deep Blackland clay
Both towns sit on deep, high-plasticity clay with severe shrink-swell, so new and older homes alike move with the seasons.
New construction isn’t immune
