St. George home builder handling custom residential construction, based on North Mall Drive.
A St. George home builder handling custom residential construction, based on North Mall Drive.
Background
Caliche appears on the Utah Geological Survey's problem-soils list and is a familiar sight on any excavation in this valley: a pale, cemented layer where calcium carbonate has precipitated out of soil water and hardened into a genuine hardpan. It resists digging, which drives up excavation and trenching effort, and it resists water moving downward, which turns an ordinary planting hole or a footing excavation into a basin that holds water against the structure. Breaching the layer deliberately, so that water has somewhere to go, matters more than simply digging through it.

Frequently asked questions
What is caliche and how does it affect building?
A cemented hardpan layer of calcium carbonate precipitated from soil water. It is hard to excavate and it blocks downward drainage, so an excavation cut into it can hold water against a foundation unless the layer is deliberately breached.
What does this company cover?
Custom residential construction in St. George, from its North Mall Drive base.
