We'll help you determine the right depth and number of soil borings needed to accomplish your design goals and present you with a clear description of our findings and recommendations. Many counties require a flood letter certified by a professional engineer (even if the property is not in a flood zone) prior to building.
Soil testing is a vital first step to executing any new building project, particularly in northern Florida and southern Georgia where expansive fat clay (locally referred to as "pipe" clay) as well as peaty soils can lead to long term foundation failure. We will work with you to determine based on the size, location and function of your structure the number and depth of soil borings needed to minimize these risks.
A sinkhole is any hole that develops in the ground (as small as only a few inches or large enough to swallow entire buildings) that is usually created where underlying limestone is chemically weathered by natural processes such as water drainage.
You may notice depressions in your interior flooring, new cracks in your foundation, misalignment of doors and windows, or small holes in the surrounding ground that could indicate the occurrence of a sinkhole, particularly when exacerbated by human activity.
