Homes in Clyde, by the numbers
Clyde has about 1,400 homes by the Census estimate, most of them detached single-family houses. The median one was built around 1973, close to Abilene's 1975.
Around four in ten went up before 1960, and only about one in seven since 2000. A house that age may already carry piers or shims from an earlier repair, and the ASCE Texas Section's foundation guidelines note that how much a crack or slope matters can depend on the building's age and any previous repairs.
If you have paperwork from earlier foundation work on your Clyde house, keep it for the survey. It shows what was done and where, which helps separate old repairs from new movement.

Your house, your watch-list
What to keep an eye on in a Clyde home
Tell us what kind of house you have and we'll show what a survey usually focuses on.
- 01Shims and wood posts in the crawl spaceShims compress and wood can soften over time, so floors drift out of level.
- 02Bouncy or sagging floorsOften a beam or joist that needs extra support, not the whole foundation.
- 03Crawl space moisture and ventilationStanding water or damp soil under the house speeds up the problems above.
- 04Earlier repairsOlder homes may already have piers or shims from past work. The survey checks whether they still hold.
General guidance. Every house is different, which is what the survey is for.

Clyde questions
Is Clyde inside your service area?
Yes. Clyde is on I-20 about 14 miles east of Abilene. Baird, six miles further east on the same interstate, is covered too.
What county is Clyde in?
Callahan County. Clyde is in the northwest part of the county, and Baird is the county seat.
My house is pier and beam. Can you still help?
Yes. Pier-and-beam repair is usually done from the crawl space with new shims, piers or beams, and is often less disruptive than slab work.
Do I need a permit for foundation repair in Clyde?
It depends on the job and on whether the house is inside Clyde's city limits. Check with the City of Clyde, and ask your contractor to confirm before any work starts.
