What we fix
A high shrink swell rating on clay under Aurora means the ground beside a footing is not the same size in April as it is in August.
What this looks likeWet soil under the slabs beside the 1,643 detached houses in Aurora can freeze in winter and push them up.

Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Aurora weather station, less than a mile away.
Sampled inside the Aurora city limits, the USDA survey reads Hastings across about 100 percent of the survey. The texture split is 77 percent clay, 16 percent silt and 5 percent sand. Weighted linear extensibility runs 6.76 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate high for shrink swell. Against 77 percent clay across Hamilton County, the city sample reads 100 percent.
The typical house dates to 1973, and the single biggest block of the stock, 465 homes, went up in the 1970s. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 1,307 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. Mortgages sit on 68 percent of the owner occupied homes in Aurora.
