Odessa, TX has primarily a hot, dry climate, though there are times of the year when rain and even snow might grace the ground. The weather here has an impact on the soil, which can swell when wet or shrink when dry and brittle. And that soil can impact the foundation of your home. Fortunately, you can stabilize your soil to keep your foundation in shape for years to come. When you use the right soil stabilization methods, you can ensure that your soil stays stable for good.
Lime treatment is a popular soil stabilization method. It encapsulates the soil, fortifying it and keeping it from taking in too much water. However, lime treatment is not built to last. It will wash away over time, and then you’ll be back to the same problem you had before. This is true of many popular soil stabilization methods. They’re not built to last. They put a bandaid on the soil, covering it, but they don’t address the soil itself. Even pre-swelling, which does impact the soil by swelling it beforehand so that it won’t swell later on, has been shown to be ineffective and can cause foundation settlement. You need a soil stabilization method that lasts, and Childers Brothers the perfect solution.
EcSS 3000TM is different because it’s designed to change the soil at an atomic level, preventing swelling not just for now but permanently….and it’s exclusive to Childers Brothers ever since we purchased ESSL in 2014. This soil stabilization method is also less messy than methods such as pre-swelling. It is injected through a minimally invasive drill that goes deep and decreases negative particles in the soil to 1-2%, making them less able to take in water and therefore swell.
