Keep an eye on your foundation
Safeguard your home's foundation for years to come
Expansive clay soils have the unique property of expanding when moist and shrinking when dry. This variance can be as much as 60% in volume. The ground will swell and shrink according to the moisture content in the soil.
What does this mean for your foundation? One thing to understand is that you have two foundations for your home, one is the concrete slab or block and beam foundation, the second foundation is the soil it rests on.
The soil expansion and retraction process can leave your concrete foundation vulnerable to cracks, shifting, and uneven pressure which then pass the same pressures onto anything sitting on top of it, such as your house.
