Why Loma homes need foundation replacement
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.
Loma properties on agricultural ground often need crawl space encapsulation along with structural repair.
