Why New Castle 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.
New Castle's benched subdivisions and steep Elk Creek lots make drainage correction and pier work common calls for our crews.
