Soil mapping within Fountain Valley returns Hueneme at about 60 percent of the survey, with Bolsa and Metz alongside it. By texture that survey runs 20 percent clay and 80 percent silt.

Against 42 percent clay across Orange County, the city sample reads 20 percent. Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station at the Santa Ana fire station, precipitation averages 12.5 inches a year, so the soil beside a wall can be wet in one season and dry in another. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

The typical house dates to 1973, and the single biggest block of the stock, 8,162 homes, went up in the 1970s. The 15,711 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 17 percent of the housing here, 3,164 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 62 percent carry a mortgage. Every evaluation ends with a written estimate that describes what we found at that house.
