Why Battlement Mesa homes need foundation replacement
Garfield County foundations sit on a mix of Colorado River valley deposits, expansive clay benches, and steep hillside fill. Soil moisture swings hard between spring runoff and late-summer drought, and a high water table along the river corridor pushes water against foundation walls every snowmelt season.
Battlement Mesa sits on a clay bench above the river, where seasonal heave and shrink cycles crack slabs and foundation walls.
