Fort Collins basements
Much of Northern Colorado sits on clay soil that swells when wet. Heaved basement slabs are a common sign. Your contractor checks the floor and plans walls that allow for movement.
Radon is a real concern in Larimer and Weld counties. A test before you close in the walls tells you if a fix belongs in the plan.
Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Windsor and Timnath each issue their own permits. Larimer or Weld County covers homes outside town limits. Your contractor files with the right one.
