Why Parachute homes need waterproofing
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.
Parachute and the surrounding gas-patch neighborhoods have many homes on engineered fill, where differential settlement shows up early.
