5:00 Pittsburgh is mostly all clay, combined with a lot of moisture and freeze thaws. I'm very surprised to learn Texas has more foundation problems than Pennsylvania.

Good discussion. The mix of the main topic and the sponsor was pretty funny, especially since the sponsor's product wasn't mentioned as one of the options for dealing with expansive soils. :)

Does chemical injection pollute the ground?

[@Tacticaladdict]

No the "chemical" they inject into the ground is a lime slurry. Farmers also use lime to help crops
