Minnesota Modular Homes Love Good Dirt
September 10, 2011
One of the most important components in a successful modular home project is the soil. The strength and quality of your foundation relies on a good supportive base for the footings to rest on. Poor soil may require a larger stronger footing while soils that are more stable will support the standard footing required by the building code. In Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin there are many soil types and it is important to know what you are going to place your new home on.
Many times the type of soil is the only gauge used to determine its quality, but that is just part of the equation. Many excavators or masonries have instruments that can assist in determining the soil quality. This soil determination is the most important piece in assuring you have a strong foundation, because your home is only as strong as what is supporting it.
