Evansville context
A foundation evaluation in the Evansville area has to start with which of those two soil conditions -- river-lowland alluvium or bluff-top loess -- a given property actually sits on, since settlement patterns, drainage needs, and crawlspace conditions differ meaningfully between them, and that's before accounting for the additional coal-mining-era ground found throughout Warrick and Gibson counties to the east and west.
