Episode 1 - Home Relocation
Sustainability at the forefront, the pre-existing home was sold and moved south to Seattle. You don’t get to see a house rolling down the street everyday.
Episode 2 - Shoring Piles
Compound problem - building on peat, a very deep and poorly drained flood plain soil, can make entire homes shift and move. The first phase of the solution to this problem involved the installation of shoring piles and the subsequent drilling of helical piles.
