Buying Land and New Construction >Beware of Fat Clay
When building a home, you should have the soil on the construction site tested for plasticity to determine how it will change under different moisture conditions. This is important because some soil is so "plastic" that (if the condition is not corrected) it can actually break concrete floors, crack the walls and destroy the foundation of your home.
Highly plastic soil is sometimes referred to as "fat clay" that swells excessively and loses stability when it becomes wet. Fine-grained soils that contain a high percentage of clay are greatly affected by water, turning to mud when it rains and undergoing large volume changes-sometimes up to 40 or 50 percent, as the soil dries. Not only do clays swell and lose stability when they become wet, but they also retard the drainage of water. If plastic soil is found on your building site, the ground must be over-excavated and replaced with clean gravel. Homebuilders often choose not to include a basement, or to protect the basement walls from excess moisture by surrounding them with a layer of gravel. A fine-grained clay-filled soil with a high plasticity index may require considerable treatment, especially if used in a moist location.

I am passionate about preserving open spaces for pasture, habitat, or quiet enjoyment, and I bring that same level of commitment and energy to my work on behalf of buyers and sellers of country properties in the Central Massachusetts corridor, from Harvard to Princeton. I love what I do, I work hard at it, and it shows: my sales achievements perennially rank me among the top agents nationwide. I treat my buyer and seller clients the way that I would want to be treated: with respect, courtesy, attention to detail, and caring. My relationship with my clients is based on mutual trust, and I never stop knocking myself out to justify their vote of confidence in me. I will do the same for you. Just try me.
