Frequently asked questions
Gaps opened beside the slab in summer and the trouble came in February. Connected?
The summer gap is the route. Black Prairie clay shrinks away from the slab in the heat, and February rain then runs down the opening instead of across the yard. Two seasons, one mechanism.
The slab moved in October and the leak showed in February. One problem or two?
The clay does both jobs. A dry fall opens a hairline beside the pad; February's 6.18 inches uses that hairline as a hose. Repairing the stain and leaving the soil untreated is a calendar. Selma chalk country will open the same gap next autumn.
Campus housing is from the 1990s. Should a young slab beat this clay?
Age is not shrink-swell. A 1990 slab on Black Prairie still moves, and February still finds the gap. Newness meant a vapor retarder of some kind. It did not change Selma chalk country. The university is young. The prairie is not.
