In this video you'll see the steps we've taken to ensure we've built a solid foundation on top of some very bad soils. We have expansive clays here in the West Lake Hills of Austin Texas and this Pier & Beam foundation sits like a house on stilts with piers down to the bedrock below.
In this Pro Tip episode I'll give you a way to know if the soil under your property has a high Clay content, and I'll talk about why expansive clay can wreck havoc on your concrete foundation.
Very special guest Mark LaLiberte visited our jobsite today! Mark and I are discussing the differences between a Piered Foundation and a Slab Foundation for our Hot/Humid Austin TX climate.
