New homes on old clay

Frisco spans Collin and Denton counties and has grown very quickly, so most homes were built in the last 25 years on post-tensioned slabs. The clay under them is highly expansive. Many lots were graded during construction, and new landscaping, pools, and fences can change how water drains around a house.

Some hairline cracking in a new home is normal concrete shrinkage. Movement that keeps growing is different.

What Frisco homeowners run into

  • Early settling in the first few years after construction.
  • Cracks at garage corners and along brick or stone veneer.
  • Water pooling along fences or between houses on tight lots.
  • Pool and patio work changing drainage near the slab.
  • Seasonal door problems as the clay dries in summer.

If your home is still under a builder warranty

Check your builder's warranty terms first, since they often require reporting structural concerns within set time frames. An independent inspection can still help you understand what the house is doing.

Frequently asked questions

My house is only a few years old. Why is it cracking?

New slabs shrink as concrete cures, which can cause hairline cracks. The clay underneath also starts reacting to the seasons. Cracks that widen or come with sticking doors should be measured.

Can a new pool affect my foundation?

It can change drainage and soil moisture near the house. If cracks appear after pool or patio work, an inspection can check for movement.
