Why Red Cliff homes need waterproofing
Eagle County foundations contend with Eagle River valley cobble, expansive clay on the benches, and gypsum-rich soils west of Wolcott that dissolve and settle when they stay wet. Add deep frost lines and heavy alpine snowmelt and drainage becomes as important as structure.
Red Cliff's high-elevation homes face extreme frost depth and freeze-thaw cracking in old stone and block foundations.
