Colorado Shifting Soils | |
|
|
Aaron Moore, a System Design Specialist with Peak Basement Systems is a guest on the show explaining the causes and effects of soil shifting and the consequences for your home's foundations. In particular, Aaron addresses the consequences of extreme soil shifting, a situation that has been cropping up more and more around Colorado. In fact, 2011 has seen the most active soils in the last 40 years! At Peak Basement Systems they have received a number of calls and questions from homeowners who are running into problems never encountered before. The active soils, through extremes of temperature and moisture, are continuously expanding and contracting which in turn causes shifting and sinking, so that a house sitting on this soil will also experience unwanted movement. Aaron goes on to explain how Peak Basement Systems will remedy the situation, solidifying a foundation with the use of Helical Piers. As an experienced contractor serving Western Colorado, Peak Basement Systems is available to homeowners for a free inspection and estimate - for basement and crawl space waterproofing to residental foundation repairs. |
