What Is Soil Stabilization and Where Do I Get Started?

Soil stabilization - Applications for Roadways - Earthlok TexasExpansive clay soil can make or break a construction project. Whether we’re discussing a residential home, a parking lot, or a commercial building, strong, stable soil is a must-have. Here in Texas, that’s a wish that’s not always granted. The clay soil we have can shift, crumble, and swell as the weather changes.

That’s where Earthlok comes in. We offer soil stabilization services designed to reduce the swell potential and prevent foundation damage.

In layman’s terms, soil stabilization is the alteration of soil to bolster the physical properties of the clay soil under your construction project. If the soil is strong and durable, no amount of rain will allow it to crack or swell.

How Earthlok’s Soil Stabilization Process Works

Here at Earthlok, we’ve designed a soil stabilization process that is environmentally friendly and guaranteed to work fast. It all begins with an “ionic reaction.” Essentially, we’re waterproofing the soil. Rainfall is the biggest culprit of soil swelling, as the water soaks into the dirt, causing it to expand. Earthlok can fix this reoccurring problem with expansive clay soils.
