There is so much Building going on in LV...that Building Inspectors do Drive By inspections....Expansive soil is a COMMON problem in NW & N LV.....The LV valley is RIFE with soil problems...Henderson has it's exotic metals mfg plants from the Cold War...the waste was dumped out there for 50 years...and some of that is leeching into the ground water...
Ohh the Builder or should I say Builders have their Geo Tech companies dig the test pits and determine soil conditions...but the Builders have a one shoe fits all foundation solution...and handle home problems on the back end as warranty problems...where their insurance companies pick up the tab...and they know most home owners will just pass on the problems to the next owner.
