Backfilling in Lapeer County: FAQ
Sometimes. Heavy wet clay drains poorly and can push on basement walls, so many plans call for sand or stone next to the foundation.
Loose soil dumped in one pass compacts over time. Placing fill in layers and compacting each one prevents most settling.
Usually yes. Footing, drain tile and waterproofing inspections are typically required before the walls are covered, and the walls must be cured and braced or have floor framing in place. Confirm with the local building department (BSEED in Detroit).
