Mckinney's older homes around the historic downtown square often rest on pier and beam systems that move when spring storms soak the local clay soils in Collin County. Rapid growth along US-75 and TX-121 brings newer construction that still faces settlement from the shift between mild winters and hot summers. Residents near McKinney Square, Chestnut Square, and the Heard Natural Science Museum commonly report sticking doors and sloping floors tied to these moisture cycles.

Pier and Beam Problems in Texas
Many older Texas homes sit on a raised pier-and-beam foundation over a crawl space. Wood beams and joists rest on piers set in clay soil, so changes in soil moisture and humidity under the house can cause piers to settle and wood to rot. The usual signs are sloping or bouncy floors, gaps at baseboards, sticking doors and cracks in plaster or brick.
