Holliday is a small town in Archer County about fifteen miles southwest of Wichita Falls. It's outside the county line but well inside our service area, and the soil conditions don't recognize the county boundary at all.
Same Clay, Same Cycle
Holliday sits in the same Rolling Red Plains region as the rest of the Wichita Falls area. The reactive clay loams that shrink through a Texas summer and swell after a storm are the same ones under Wichita Falls, Iowa Park, and Archer City. The 2011–2015 drought that hammered foundations across this region hit Holliday too.
What tends to be different in smaller Archer County towns is the mix of housing: more older homes, more pier-and-beam, more manufactured housing on acreage, and more properties on septic with drainage shaped by land contour rather than subdivision engineering.
Common Findings
- Older pier-and-beam homes with settled or shim-less piers
- Crawl space moisture and inadequate ventilation
- Rotted beam ends and sagging joists in homes past 70 years old
- Slab perimeter settlement on newer construction, worst on the sun-exposed side
- Manufactured homes out of level from pad settlement
- Runoff from higher ground channeling toward the house
- Trees close to the structure drying out one side
Rural drainage works differently. On acreage there's no street inlet to route water to — but there's usually more room, and natural fall you can use. Regrading the immediate perimeter plus a French drain routed to a low point on your own property handles most rural drainage problems, and it's often simpler than solving the same issue on a cramped city lot. See drainage correction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Holliday inside your service area?
Yes. Holliday sits in Archer County just south of Wichita Falls, and it's within our normal coverage. Inspections there are free with no travel charge.
Do rural properties have different foundation problems?
The soil mechanics are identical, but the drainage picture differs. Rural lots have no street drainage system, more natural contour, and often a septic field affecting soil moisture. On the plus side there's usually more room to route water somewhere useful.
How much does foundation repair cost in Holliday?
Same market rates as Wichita Falls — roughly $300 to $800 per pier for slab work, and $2,000 to $9,000 for typical pier-and-beam releveling. Costs are driven by scope, not by distance. See the cost guide.
