On an Avalon waterfront lot the soil under the lake side of the house and the soil under the street side are rarely doing the same thing — and a slab spanning both is where that difference gets resolved.
Standing water holds the clay nearest it at a steadier moisture content year-round, while the ground toward the street dries out and shrinks through a Texas summer like clay anywhere else. The result is not uniform settlement, which a house tolerates reasonably well, but differential movement across a single slab — one edge holding its elevation while the opposite edge drops. That is the pattern worth measuring for on a waterfront lot, and it is why an elevation survey here is read across the lake-to-street axis rather than corner to corner.
