Re: Adding Clay
Glenn Needham....you know if they put the clay on top along the foundation it
would work great as a basement waterproofing.Unfortunately its very difficult
to compact clay to 95% of its maximum density(standard for construction to
minimize settlement) when in the "chunky" condition the builder had it
in....you can expect settlement in the future around the backfilled
foundation creating a likely pitch towards the home leading rainwater to
travel towards the house, down along the foundation and possibly into the
basement via cracks in the concrete.......a most annoying
problem..................G
