If you 're planning on building a new home, make sure that you or your contractor does not over dig the foundations.
Dirt that was moved from the past and suffer from poor soil compaction. I was not compacted like this.
Worse than this is a building contractor or someone working for the contractor who is digging the foundations for the worries about over digging. walk over at a couple of times with their feet until it 's compacted or looks good.
This is something that most building inspectors can not really check and soon The home will be approached by the building inspector and ready to pour without knowledge of the problems lurking.
Instead of refilling the feet with loose dirt, have made few yards of fill dirt sent out to the project and then use this to correct your mistakes.
Remember, never to refill any footings with loose soil without it gets re-compacted somehow.
