Claims19
A system to stabilize a moisture content of soil of a building foundation site, comprising:
- a moisture stabilization material that, when incorporated into the soil, improves soil's ability to retain and transport moisture, wherein the moisture stabilization material includes a crystalline, porous aluminosilicate combined with a granular material;
- a plurality of slugs filled with the moisture stabilization material, wherein the slugs are located within the building foundation site;
- and
- a foundation irrigation system configured to deliver liquid to the slugs that contain the moisture stabilization material located within the building foundation site.
1 more element
A method for stabilizing moisture content of soil of a building site, comprising:
- creating, within a perimeter of the building site, a plurality of slugs;
- filling the slugs with a moisture stabilization material that improves the soil's ability to retain and transport moisture, wherein the moisture stabilization material includes a crystalline, porous aluminosilicate;
- and connecting the slugs to a foundation irrigation system that acts as a source of moisture for the moisture stabilization material in the slugs.
