Everyone will agree that the main thing in the construction site is the right foundation, since in the finished house its capital alteration will be comparable to new construction. The problem is that the universal correct foundation simply does not exist, and it should be designed and erected not only in accordance with the type of future house, but also taking into account the structure and features of the soil. Hot disputes do not subside on geological research. Everyone refers to their experience. But it is one thing to build a wooden house without reconnaissance on gravel-sand soil, and it’s quite another to decide to build a multi-storey cottage, houses with a basement or basement on a area with complex soil.
With the help of the Internet, you can figure out what research and in what quantity you really need and where you can save. To obtain information, wells are being drilled and samples of groundwater and soil from different depths are studied. The more wells, the more reliable the results, but the higher the cost of geological intelligence. It is important for you to know how many wells will be necessary and enough in your specific case.
Is it worth mentioning all the problems that unjustified savings in geological intelligence can lead to? Cracks in the walls and foundation, non -closed doors and windows, flooded cellars and damp on the ground floor ..
You can understand when ordinary inhabitants against reconnaissance work: the neighbors around were built, which means that my plot is trouble -free. Worse, when designers advise saving on geological work, while either laying an excessive reserve for the strength of the foundation in the project, increasing construction costs, or underestimate the complexity of the soil, dooming the customer into problems in the future.
