If you’re experiencing foundation troubles, reach out to our experts. Our foundation experts are knowledgeable about expansive soils and the resulting foundation damage. Our team in Charleston has proven soil stabilization solutions to repair the damage and measures to prevent the damage from occurring again.
What Are Expansive Soils?
Expansive soils are often found in areas rich in clay. Clay-based soils react strongly to any water exposure. When the area loses water, the soil contracts, and then it expands again when it takes on water. The high mineral content and lack of organic material that typically make up expansive soils make it difficult to achieve proper drainage.
How Does Expansive Soil Affect My Property?
Expansive soil regularly cycles through periods of contraction and expansion, creating an unstable surface area. Additionally, the total volume of soil changes during these cycles. The result is unstable underlying soil, which prevents your home’s foundation from remaining in its original position. The shifting soil exerts undue pressure on your house and can cause foundation settling or foundation heaving. Eventually, this excessive movement can lead to structural damage, including a cracked foundation.
