Why Gateway homes need basement waterproofing
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.
We serve Gateway and the Unaweep corridor for foundation replacement, piers, and water management.
