Frequently asked questions
What is the Black Belt and why does it matter for a building?
It is a band of dark, chalk-derived soils running across central Alabama, and the clay it weathers into is strongly expansive. It matters because the ground itself changes volume with moisture, lifting and dropping foundations, and because it accepts water very slowly so most rainfall stays on the surface.
Cracks that open in summer and close in winter — foundation or drainage?
The two are the same problem here. Clay shrinking in a dry spell opens a gap alongside the foundation, and that gap is a direct path for the next heavy rain to reach the footing. The movement creates the entry point, so treating them separately usually addresses only half of it.
Does keeping the soil evenly moist actually help?
It is the standard approach on expansive clay, and evenness matters more than volume. The damage comes from differential movement — one part of the slab supported and another not — so the aim is to avoid one side drying out while another stays wet, rather than to keep everything saturated.
