Why Houston homes move: expansive clay soil
Much of the Houston area sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells. Most homes are slab-on-grade, so that seasonal movement shows up as cracked slabs, sticking doors and cracks in brick and drywall. Long droughts followed by heavy rain, plus large trees near the house, make movement worse.
