Frequently asked questions
What does loess do that clay does not?
It collapses. Loess is wind-deposited silt with an open structure that is strong while dry but loses strength when wetted under load. That means a saturated zone beneath a footing can settle rather than simply becoming damp, and it erodes far faster than clay when water is concentrated on it.
A downspout has been discharging in the same spot for years. Is that a problem?
On this soil, more than most. Concentrated discharge cuts into loess quickly and can undermine the backfill or the footing zone without anything visible at the surface. Spreading or extending the discharge is a cheap correction to a mechanism that works slowly and then all at once.
Do the flood-control dams mean the creek is not a concern?
They change the failure mode rather than removing it. Managed structures handle the design event, and what reaches the city is a regulated flow rather than a natural one. For most properties the relevant water is groundwater and surface runoff, not the channel itself.
