Aug 2012, A severe drought has affected Missouri this year causing foundation failures. Because of the clay soil, many of which can contract and expand 300%, will shrink when moisture is removed causing failure. The failed addition shown in the video was done to local building codes by a reputable builder but the piers failed anyway, which is one reason the Naugle Company's minimum specs often exceed local code requirements. If you are seeing foundation issues because of the drought we suggest to place a soaker hose along the foundation to re introduce moisture and help arrest the situation. as always call us in Mid Missouri for a free consultation 573-474-9444 or visit our website http://naugleco.com/
