The soil under San Juan.
San Juan sits on the Hidalgo–Raymondville clay loam transition between Pharr and Alamo, on a Pleistocene delta plain that's been heavily irrigated for over a century.
Soils are predominantly Hidalgo sandy clay loam with Raymondville clay loam pushing in from the south, PI typically 28–45 and 'moderate to high' shrink-swell.
The Basilica-area downtown sits on slightly deeper clay than the surrounding agricultural land.
The North Alamo Water Supply canals and decades of citrus irrigation have raised the baseline moisture content above natural levels, so summer drydown produces sharper perimeter shrinkage than the soil would naturally see.
Concrete piers driven 12–14 feet are the engineered answer for most San Juan slabs.
Common foundation issues we see in San Juan.
Irrigation-driven perimeter settlement
Slabs along Raul Longoria and Nebraska Ave see chronic edge drop where the canal-fed groves stop at the property line.
Old citrus uplift
Slabs poured over former citrus rows lift in the center as buried organic layers rehydrate.
1960s–80s shallow pours
Older San Juan subdivisions used 3.5" slabs with minimal rebar; they crack diagonally from corners.
Pier & beam sill rot
Pre-1970 raised homes near the Basilica have chronic ground moisture issues — sills and blocks fail by year 25.
