Does Foundation Movement Affect Boulder?
When an architect designed your home, they put a certain amount of ‘allowable foundation movement’ in the foundation plan. Based on conditions surrounding the foundation, the architect decided just how much movement your foundation can tolerate before it becomes excessive and leads to foundation damage.
Your architect put his or her name on the line to certify that a certain amount of foundation movement was okay. Regardless of when your home’s construction occurred, none of the architects could have known the future concerning soil condition and drainage issues. The Boulder area doesn’t have suitable soil for a foundation to thrive in. The soil’s inability to properly shed water makes for two sets of problems that will make your Boulder foundation move and, in some cases, move a lot.
The soil is to blame for most of the foundation movement, and the recent boom in new home construction in this area has also seen homes less than ten years old suffer from foundation movement and other foundation damage issues. Yes, foundation movement affects the Boulder, Colorado area, which is why you need to have our contact information at the ready.
What Causes Foundation Problems in Boulder?
Boulder’s leading cause of foundation damage is the clay content in the soil and a high pH content, making your soil around your foundation its number one enemy. Expansive soils with high clay content or any other substance can cause soil to expand and contract. When your soil begins to swell and contract, it causes voids to form around and under your concrete slab or pier footing foundation. When the water does finally drain away from your foundation, the soil will shrink, and your house will then settle down into those voids.
The high pH content gives the Boulder soil a corrosive quality. This comes from the same place that the excess clay comes from. It washes down the mountains surrounding Boulder, and all that clay and acid settles in the surrounding soil of your foundation. Your Boulder foundation will eventually lose the battle and fail catastrophically.
If you have lived in Boulder for ten years or more, you will likely remember the devastating floods of 2013. The floods caused more foundation damage on a home-to-home basis than any other single natural disaster on record. The residents of Boulder still feel its effects some 7 to 8 years later.
Those 2013 floods also brought in more clay to contribute to the expansive soil condition and some somewhat acidic runoff from the evergreen tree population in the mountain ranges surrounding the Greater Boulder area.
What Are the Signs of Basement Foundation Damage in Boulder?
Regardless of when your home was built, the signs of damage will appear all the same. If you are fortunate enough to have a Boulder home with either a full or half-basement, you will first see foundation damage signs in the basement walls and floors. Homes with basements are homes with an exaggerated foundation. This means that the basement is just a larger version of your home’s original foundation. If you should begin seeing any of the following warning signs in your Boulder basement, please contact our foundation repair professionals before your foundation fails and causes more problems than foundation issues. Look for these:
These are the most common basement foundation warning signs. If your home begins to settle beyond the norm, you will start to see these signs and others as your foundation problems grow into serious foundation issues.
Do You Need to Hire a Structural Engineer to Fix Your Foundation in Boulder?
If you have any foundation issues, you might want to consider using our structural engineers as a part of your foundation repair.
If you are in the process of either buying a home, you might ask the seller to include an engineer’s report and certification of a structural engineer like ours as part of the closing on the house. And if you are selling a home, do your prospective buyer a favor and include our structural engineers’ services as a bargaining chip for the sale of the house.
While hiring our engineers isn’t always required, it is always a good idea and will give you peace of mind that your foundation is sturdy and safe for you and your family.
