Soil issues are a common construction defect. Not only can soil problems cause damage to slabs and foundations, it can also cause major damage to buried pipes and other metal that is buried. Corrosive soil can easy away at metal, causing damages to systems, including leading to pipe bursts and leaks. Once a pike breaks, it is not a cheap or easy fix.
During construction, builders/contractors must test the soil to make sure corrosion will not occur. If the soil is corrosive, they must take action to protect pipes by either removing the soil from where the pipes will be or by wrapping the pipes in a protective material so they will not be touched by the soil.
Without properly testing the soil or protecting pipes/metal work, there will be extensive damage to a property.
