Local know-how
Foundation problems in Round Rock
Round Rock sits right at the edge of two landscapes. To the west lies the limestone of the Edwards Plateau; to the east, the dark, expansive clays of the Blackland Prairie. Homes east of I-35 on deep clay see the classic Central Texas cycle of shrinking in drought and swelling after rain. Homes to the west often sit on thin soil over rock, where problems come more from fill, cut-and-fill lots and drainage.
Most Round Rock homes are slabs built since the 1980s, many in fast-growing subdivisions on graded lots.
Permits
Round Rock issues a dedicated residential foundation repair permit; the city’s monthly development reports list these permits and their fees. Your contractor should apply, and you should keep the final engineer’s letter with your records.
