How do you handle expansive clay soils in Rowlett, TX foundation design?

We conduct ASTM D4318 soil classification testing and implement pier-and-beam systems with proper pier spacing to prevent foundation movement. Our designs account for the region's characteristic expansive clay that can swell up to 10% when wet.

What seismic requirements apply to foundations in Rowlett, TX?

IBC Chapter 16 requires seismic design for all structures in our region. We implement moment-resisting foundation connections and ensure proper embedment depths to resist wind and seismic forces per ASCE 7 wind load calculations.

How do you ensure foundation waterproofing in Rowlett, TX's humid climate?

We apply ACI 515.1R-recommended waterproofing membranes and drainage systems. Our specifications include gravel drainage layers and perforated pipe systems to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup.

What foundation inspection requirements must be met in Rowlett, TX?

Rowlett requires special inspections per IBC Section 1705 for all foundations over 12" deep. We schedule pre-pour, during-placement, and post-placement inspections with certified special inspectors.

What foundation warranties do you provide for Rowlett, TX projects?

We provide 10-year foundation warranties covering structural integrity, with 2-year workmanship guarantees. Warranties are backed by professional liability insurance and require annual foundation monitoring.
