RELATING TO CERTIFYING AND .
The drought not only affects crops
and plants. Itgalso may be causing
problems for your home and other
buildings.
“Sticking doors or windows and
cracks .in walls may be indications
that the building is shifting due to
soil shrinkage,” says Ken Hellevang,
North Dakota State University Ex-
tension agricultural engineer.
As clay or other fine—particle soils
dry, they shrink, creating gaps around
the basement walls. This space ex—
poses more of the soil to airflow,
which increases the amount of mois-
ture removal.
A gap along the wall may, through
time, allow airflow that will dry the
soil under the foundation. The foun-
dation’s support is removed as the
soil shrinks, which will cause the
building to shift and may stress the
concrete enough to cause a crack to
form. .
This also will occur around con-
crete slabs if the support base is clay
or other fine-particle soil that swells
and shrinks with changes in moisture

content, according to Hellevang.
The gap between the soil and
basement wall also allows water
from rain to run down the 'wall and
may result in water getting into the
basement.
To minimize these problems,
Hellevang recommends maintaining
a relatively constant moisture content
in the soil around the house or other
building. Water the soil evenly and
around the entire foundation during
extended dry periods.
“Do not apply water directly into
the gap because this may cause water
intrusion into the basement,” he says.
“Instead, apply water 1 to 2 feet away
from the foundation edge. A soaker-
type hose permits applying water to
the soil without getting it on the house
