Slab Homes and Clay Soil
Four Seasons Farm's water damage often shows up underfoot. Like much of Kyle, it sits on clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and the houses sit on slabs with water lines running beneath them. Soil movement and age can crack a line under the concrete, and the first sign is a warm patch on tile, damp carpet with no visible source, or a water bill that won't come down. Hard freezes add a second risk: lines in attics and exterior walls that split in the cold and leak when they thaw.
Homes in Four Seasons Farm
Slab foundations, attic water heaters on some plans, and tile or laminate flooring are typical. Know where the main shutoff is, usually near the curb or in the garage.
