Why Tyler foundations move
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's bulletin on residential foundations describes expansive soils as soils that shrink and swell as their moisture changes, and calls them a very common cause of foundation problems. When the soil gets wet it heaves and lifts the house; when it dries out it shrinks and the house settles.
Tyler gets about 47.66 inches of rain a year and tops 90°F on about 91 days a year, so the soil under a house cycles between soaked and baked. The bulletin's prevention list for avoiding foundation repair is short: drainage that carries water away on all sides, sensible plant choices, sprinkling practices and long-term maintenance. Our soil and watering guide turns that into a checklist.
The Rose City's older houses
Tyler is the Rose Capital of America; its Rose Garden covers 14 acres with over 38,000 bushes. The city is old by Texas standards, legally recognized in 1846, and its historic districts include Charnwood, the first, with 12 blocks of late 19th- and early 20th-century homes, and the 29-block Brick Streets Historic District.
If an older home sits on pier and beam, it ages differently from a slab. Read older homes in Tyler.
