Macon red-clay wet-dry cycle homeowner log
A Middle Georgia log for tracking foundation symptoms across wet and dry soil periods.
Macon-area red clay can swell and shrink with rain and dry spells. A useful owner log tracks crack width, door rub, floor bounce, downspout discharge, and low-grade pooling across multiple weather cycles so estimates are tied to patterns rather than one stressful day.
