Indicators of Expansive Soil Movements Exterior Indicators
Water can move horizontally and vertically through the soils under your foundation in a similar manner. As clayey soils draw water to themselves, they too grow in volume (swell or heave) causing your foundation to move. Drying outside your foundation reverses the process. The moist soils will lose volume (shrink) as soil moisture moves out from under your foundation causing the foundation to settle. Shrinking and swelling soil motions can lead to damaging your foundation and structure. Uniform changes in soil moisture are less damaging to your structure than localized changes. Several sources of soil moisture changes are provided in the following table. You should review the list and possible actions to control or minimize the various sources. Begin practicing the suggested actions as soon as possible to improve your foundation and structure performance. Many of these actions can become a routine part of your ongoing conscientious owner maintenance activities. Annually inspect the area within 5 feet of all sides of your foundation after a rain to determine if proper drainage is maintained away from your structure. Monitor existing cracks for progressive or seasonal movements. Some of the possible actions, suggested in the accompanying table, will require an expert for assistance. Additional information on all of these items can be obtained in the excellent reference, So Your Home is Built On Expansive Soils, A Discussion of How Expansive Soils Affect Buildings, edited by Warren Wray, Ph.D., PE., published in 1995 by The American Society of Civil Engineers. This 54 page booklet can be obtained for approximately $20.00 by calling ASCE publications at (800) 548-2723.

Ram Jack of Oregon PO Box 11701 If you’d like to request an inspection by the experts at RamJack, simply complete and submit the form to the right. Someone will contact you as soon as possible. Ram Jack is a family-owned business that began operations in 1968, in Ada, OK. Concrete piering was the original repair method chosen simply because that was essentially the only technology being used at the time; however, it became evident within a few years that the concrete pier did not provide long-term stabilization of foundations and that only a short-term warranty period could be given. The owners embarked on a research program to develop a repair system that would stand the test of time and one that an acceptable warranty period could be provided to the building owner. The first patent of the Ram Jack system was issued in 1985 and over the past 10 years additional refinements and patents have followed.

CAUSES OF FOUNDATION FAILURE
1.EVAPORATION Hot dry wind and intense heat will often cause the soil to shrink beneath the foundation. This settlement may cause cracks to appear throughout the structure. 2. TRANSPIRATION Tree roots may desiccate the soil beneath a home causing the soil to shrink and the home to settle. 3. PLUMBING LEAKS Water from plumbing leaks is often a cause of foundation problems. 4. DRAINAGE Improper drainage is one of the leading causes of foundation failure. Excess moisture will erode or consolidate soils and cause settlement. 5. INFERIOR FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION Insufficient steel and inferior concrete will contribute to movement in the slab. 6. INFERIOR GROUND PREPARATION Soft, low density soils and/or improperly compacted soil beneath a home is the leading cause of foundation failure. Cut and fill situations should be properly prepared before the soil is ready to support a structure. 7. POOR SOIL CONDITIONS Poor soil and its expansion and/or SIGNS OF FOUNDATION FAILURE
