What Virginia's climate means for your foundation
Local conditions change which materials and methods make sense.
- Heavy rain and wet soil
Poor drainage is behind most foundation problems. Gutters, grading and downspout extensions are often part of a lasting fix.
- Hurricanes and coastal wind
Coastal homes on piers or slabs see more settlement after storms. Have the structure checked after any major flooding.
- Freeze-thaw cycles
Frost heave can lift footings that are not deep enough. Ask the specialist about frost depth in your area.
- Timing
Foundation work happens year-round. Dry months make it easier to see how much the soil has moved.
