Colorado Front Range
Water Damage & Foundation Repair in Greeley, CO
Greeley sits on the high plains with some of the most active expansive clay soils on the Front Range. Older neighborhoods near the South Platte River have a combination of soil movement, aging sewer infrastructure, and stormwater drainage issues that create persistent moisture problems. Summer storms can overwhelm the city's drainage capacity quickly.
Soil Conditions
High-plains expansive clays with significant shrink-swell behavior; some of the most active foundation soils in northern Colorado.
Flood & Drainage Risk
South Platte River corridor and urban stormwater capacity issues in established neighborhoods during heavy rain.

Greeley — Frequently Asked
Why do Greeley foundations move more than other cities?
Greeley sits on high-plains clays that shrink and swell more dramatically than soils in the foothills communities. When the soil dries out during Colorado's dry periods, it contracts significantly and can pull away from foundations. Irrigation, landscaping, and downspout drainage all affect how much moisture the soil beneath a home retains.
