Red Clay Foundation Pros

Red Clay Foundation Pros is a referral service, not a contractor. We do not perform foundation work. We pass your request to one local foundation contractor.

Low shrink-swell

Madison, Pacolet, Gwinnett and Cecil, the four soils the USDA maps across Cobb County, are all classified fine and kaolinitic and all rated low for shrink-swell. If you were told Georgia red clay swells and tears houses apart, that does not follow from the mapped soil.

That does not mean your house is fine. It means an expansive-clay explanation needs backing up, and you are entitled to ask what yours rests on. The survey numbers and the ratings.

Your request goes to one local foundation contractor. Not five, not a call centre, and we do not resell your number. That is the whole difference.
