Old homes, new growth, two kinds of ground

Georgetown is the Williamson County seat, with historic homes near the downtown square that often sit on pier and beam foundations. Newer neighborhoods have spread in every direction. West of I-35 the ground is mostly limestone with thin soil, while east of I-35 it turns to deeper clay. The San Gabriel River runs through town.

Each part of the city brings different foundation questions, so the inspection looks at what is actually under and around your home.

What Georgetown homeowners run into

  • Historic pier and beam homes with uneven floors and aging piers.
  • West-side hillside lots with fill settlement and runoff.
  • East-side clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons.
  • Additions on older homes moving separately from the original structure.
  • Drought cracks that appear during long dry spells.

Frequently asked questions

Can a historic home be re-leveled without changing its character?

Many older pier and beam homes are re-leveled from the crawlspace. The inspection shows what is possible for your house.

Is foundation movement common in newer Georgetown neighborhoods?

It depends on the ground. Homes on clay see more seasonal movement, while hillside homes are more affected by fill and drainage.

Do I need a structural engineer?

For large repairs or historic homes, an independent engineer's opinion can be useful. See inspection vs. engineer.
