Frequently asked questions
How deep does frost actually go here?
Deep enough that footings are placed well below anything a milder climate would require, and the ground between still moves. The practical consequence is not the depth itself but the seasonal cycle: the soil expands, shifts what it surrounds, and relaxes again every year.
Why does the damage appear in April rather than January?
Because freezing suspends water rather than delivering it. The cold season widens cracks and joints without much liquid water available. When the melt arrives, it supplies volume all at once into openings that were smaller before the winter started.
Twenty inches of precipitation. Is drainage worth the attention?
It is, because the annual figure is not what loads a foundation here. A concentrated melt delivers much of the year's liquid water at ground level in a few weeks, onto soil that is still frozen underneath and cannot absorb it. Timing matters more than totals.
