Why Fruita homes need foundation repair
Mesa County is known for highly expansive Mancos shale clay. It swells dramatically under irrigation and spring moisture, then shrinks hard through the dry summer, lifting and dropping foundations year after year. Decades of flood irrigation across the Grand Valley make the cycle worse.
Fruita's older farm-town homes and newer subdivisions on former orchard ground both move with the clay underneath them.
