Hey there, East San Antonio neighbors—Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Universal City, Converse, and beyond. If you're noticing cracks and signs of foundation trouble, you're not alone. Our side of town, with its clay-like soil, faces unique challenges, especially after recent droughts. Unlike the northern areas like 281 Bulverde and Stone Oak, where foundations are rock-solid thanks to lime rock, our soil doesn't hold water well, leading to foundation movement and damage.
