Foundation Problems in New Braunfels
New Braunfels sits where the Hill Country meets the river bottoms, so local foundations face two problems at once. Here’s what to watch and how we help.
Two soils, one city
Edwards limestone uplands meet deep Comal and Guadalupe river clays — uneven bearing in one part of town, swelling clay in another.
What that means
Homes near the rivers see classic clay movement; upland homes see rock-related settlement. Both are handled with steel piers.
