Expansive Soils More significant damage to man-made structures than any other natural hazard Jamming doors/windows Warped flooring Ruptured foundations Cracked swimming pools Buckled roads Severed utility lines “The Coastal Plain, the Shenandoah Valley, and the Mesozoic basins around Culpeper, Farmville, Danville, and Richmond are the most likely areas to have expansive or frost-heave-susceptible soils; however, the exact distribution can only be approximated from current soil maps, and field visits to specific areas are necessary to determine the actual extent of these hazards.” –DMME https://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx
