Foundation, crawl space and concrete leveling in Kings Mountain, NC

The swelling and shrinking rating describes how much a clay soil grows when it soaks up water and how much it shrinks as it dries out. USDA places the sample inside Kings Mountain in its moderate band, one step above the low rating the Cleveland County survey carries. So the free inspection here looks at how the clay around your home may be behaving. It checks the foundation too, before any repair is suggested.

The middle Kings Mountain home was built in 1974, according to the Census. More homes date from the 1970s than any other decade, 908 in all, followed by 695 from the 1950s. Another 499 were already standing before 1940. In total the Census counts 2,854 homes built before 1980, close to 62 percent of those it dates, and it records 3,400 detached single family houses in the city.

Yes. Concrete lifting and leveling is part of what HydroHelp911 does across its whole service area, and that includes Kings Mountain. Patios, sidewalks, garage floors and steps can all be raised when the slab is still in one solid piece and has simply dropped. Concrete that has cracked apart into loose sections is a poor fit for lifting. Because a slab usually sinks when the ground beneath it gives way, the inspector first looks for what moved the soil.

NOAA's 1991 to 2020 climate normals from Gastonia Municipal Airport, the NOAA station about 11 miles from Kings Mountain, show 43.3 inches of precipitation a year and about 60 days a year with a low of 32 degrees or colder. The July dew point averages close to 68 degrees at Charlotte Douglas Airport. Rain can soak into the clay and humid summer air can reach a crawl space, so an inspection here checks both.
