Central Oregon isn’t all solid rock. In areas around Prineville, expansive soil—and even certain types of bedrock—can react dramatically to seasonal moisture changes. As the ground absorbs water, it swells; when it dries out, it shrinks. This constant movement can put serious stress on your building’s foundation.
Watch for warning signs like doors and windows that stick or won’t close properly, as well as cracks forming in your drywall—these could indicate shifting beneath your building. Fixing buildings with expansive soil problems is difficult and expensive. The most effective solution is proactive-addressing soil conditions before the foundation is ever built.
