Why Gypsum homes need basement 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.
As the name suggests, Gypsum sits on soluble soils that settle when wet — one of the most demanding foundation environments we work in.
