Why Are Soil Surveys Important?
Marek Mularczyk, a specialist from Hydrostop, provides insights into the significance of soil testing.
The first step in designing the foundation of your dream home should be conducting a soil survey on the plot.
Beyond structural considerations, such as whether the ground is load-bearing or non-load-bearing, another critical aspect is waterproofing.
It is essential to determine:
- Can water reach and surround the building?
- Can the water level fluctuate over time?
These factors are influenced by the distribution of permeable and impermeable soil layers beneath your foundation.
A soil survey provides answers to these crucial questions.
However, interpreting the results of soil tests comes with certain challenges and potential pitfalls, which will be discussed in the next video.
