WASECA, Minn. -
The long-standing drought continues to have an impact on our area...this time affecting homeowners... specifically their foundations.
This neighborhood in Waseca has found some sympathy with farmers concerned about the drought.
That's because the lack of rain has dried out the soil so severely that the foundations their homes rest on are collapsing.
Victor Barke of Complete Basement Systems says, "If you have different soil types which a lot of foundations do that's going to settle at different rates and that's what causes the foundation to separate."
The problems start out small... creaky doors and windows, various cracks, but eventually lead to unsafe living conditions.
The Cliffs noticed their problems over the summer with the driveway, and then the rest of the house in October.
Waseca resident Shannon Cliff says, "My husband and I were taking a walk in the backyard about two weeks after our neighbor mentioned it to us that they were having trouble and we saw a big black line going across the back of our house and as we got closer we realized that our foundation sunk. We found out later our house was being held up by the rafters."
The bill for the Cliff's - in the neighborhood of $20,000, triple the original estimate because the contractor had to go down 90 feet to hit solid rock.
Victor Barke says, "You're digging the whole foundation up, you're exposing that. Going to lose a lot of landscaping and it's a mess. But it's a permanent fix, is the good news."
