Frequently asked questions
Cracks open in the yard every summer. Should we be watering the foundation?
Yes, in a place with this clay. When the black prairie soil dries it shrinks and pulls away from the slab, and the first October storm runs straight into those gaps and wets the ground under the edge of the foundation before the rest of the yard is damp. Watering the soil beside the slab through the summer keeps it from shrinking that far, so the gaps stay small and the autumn rain lands on the surface instead.
The house is only a few years old and doors are already sticking in autumn. Why?
The slab is riding the clay. A post-tensioned slab is built to move as one piece, and on expansive clay it does, lifting on the side that gets wet first. When the October rain arrives at one edge through the summer cracks, that side swells and the slab tilts slightly, which shows up as doors and windows that bind. It usually eases as the whole lot wets evenly. Keeping the moisture even around the slab keeps it level.
We are in one of the older houses near the bottoms. Is the clay the same problem for us?
Less so; a house on piers can tolerate the clay moving. The exposure near the bottoms is that the ground stays wet after the river rises, and a pier house on it has damp soil under the floor for weeks, with humid air trapped beneath. The slab houses on the prairie worry about the clay swelling; the pier houses in the bottoms worry about it never drying. Ground cover and moving air under the house address the second.
