I have heard that bentonite is a big problem in that general vicinity. Anyone have insight/opinions about the Harriman Lake area?
Thanks

The first house I ever sold (in 1989) was a VA owned scrape for $9,000 in Harriman Park. The house was so bad that the staircase split - we had to crawl across a ladder from the landing to get upstairs. The contractor who bought it (for land value) actually dug 20 feet down and removed all the soil and had some trucked in prior to pouring a concrete foundation (unheard of in 1989)- after he finished we sold that house for $42,000 - we thought we had both won the lottery.

All those houses that moved in the 1970's and 1980's are the reason for the soil test per lot, and an engineered foundations today.

Building science has come a long way since then.
