Why Georgetown Homes Are Vulnerable
Georgetown soil varies dramatically. Eastern portions have deep expansive clay similar to Round Rock. Western hill country side has more limestone with clay pockets. Sun City sits on a mix.
Georgetown has historic homes downtown (1880s-1940s) on pier-and-beam and massive modern developments. Sun City began in 1995. Wolf Ranch and newer neighborhoods from 2015 onward.
Common Issues in Georgetown
Extreme soil variability is the biggest issue. Sun City homes commonly develop cracks within 10-15 years. Historic downtown homes often need pier-and-beam repairs.
Georgetown was the fastest-growing city in America in 2016. Some subdivisions have higher-than-average issue rates that contractors attribute to rushed site preparation.
