Municipal boundaries cross county lines, so broad citywide soil claims can be misleading.

Foundation guidance for Schertz homeowners.
Schertz homeowners often want clear answers about slab symptoms, drainage, and whether a visible change merits professional attention.
Local context
What matters more than a broad soil label
Neighborhood drainage, lot grading, and construction details may matter more than a city label.
A documented inspection creates a better baseline than monitoring from memory.
Regional sources help explain the landscape, but they do not diagnose a home. Review the public sources behind our local context.
Before the visit
Three useful things to prepare
- Mark cracks with dates instead of repeatedly patching without a record.
- Check whether downspouts discharge beside the slab.
- Write down where floors feel different and when you first noticed it.

Schertz homeowner questions
Should I repair a crack before the inspection?
If it is safe to leave visible, documenting it before cosmetic repair can give the inspector useful context. Address active leaks and immediate hazards promptly.
How quickly should I call about a sticking door?
One sticking door can have ordinary causes. Call sooner when it appears with widening cracks, multiple openings out of alignment, floor changes, or water-related symptoms.
