My house is built on rock. Why is it cracking?
Many hillside lots include fill that can compress. A slab resting partly on rock and partly on fill can move unevenly.
Boerne's Hill Country setting means rock, slopes, and runoff shape how foundations behave.
Boerne is the Kendall County seat, northwest of San Antonio along I-10. Most of the area is limestone Hill Country with thin soil. Many homes, especially in newer developments, are on sloped lots where part of the pad was cut into rock and part was built up with fill. Cibolo Creek runs through town.
Older homes near the historic Main Street area include a mix of foundation types.
On sloped lots, managing runoff is often as important as structural support. Grading, gutters, and drainage channels that carry water around the house can reduce movement. See drainage and moisture control.
