Why Proper Trenching Matters for Piedmont Triad Homes
Dense NC Clay Soil: Holds heavy water, swells, and creates massive hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls.
Heavy Rainfall & Flooding: Inadequate drainage leads to foundation settling, wet crawlspaces, and basement water intrusion.
Structural Compromise: Unmanaged groundwater undermines subfloors, piers, and footings over time.
