The mapped soil in Adams is Wymore at about 40 percent of the survey, with Cortland and Kennebec alongside it. The texture split is 85 percent clay and 13 percent silt. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 7.22 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential. The sample inside the city runs 80 percent clay against 85 percent across Gage County, so the ground here is lighter than the county average. Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Virginia weather station, precipitation averages 33 inches a year and about 138 days a year have a low of 32 degrees or colder, so the soil beside a wall can be wet, dry or frozen at different times of the year. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.
