On Episode 4 of ‘On Solid Ground,’ we continued our discussion with David Grindley, but this time on another topic - soil testing and why someone would need it for their new build. A lot goes into building a new home, but what about what lies underneath? This is what we explored further. Some of the subjects we touched on included: the benefit of testing your soil before you build, what you should do if you notice damage, the soil testing process, the budget for a soil penetrating test, and why soil testings aren’t completed for every house.

We hope this episode gave you a better perspective on what soil testing entails and why the strength of your soil is critical. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe to our podcast for more exciting content. See you on the next one!
