Dipping Bedrock Hazard Areas

Most Denver area real estate professionals know something about our local soils and unique building procedures required by builders to circumvent expansive bentonite in our soils. But, most agents know nothing about our Dipping Bedrock Hazard Areas.

When you are considering buying a home, be sure to ask your agent if he/she is knowledgeable about Dipping Bedrock Areas and where in the metro Denver area they are found. Your agent should be able to explain to you how the hazard affects homes.
A word of caution: During my 30 years as a Denver Realtor®, I have never met a builder or on site sales agent NOR HOME INSPECTOR who, if they knew anything about this hazard, would discuss it with one of my clients. Since this area hazard can significantly damage your home, be sure you know all you can about the effects of the hazard and where it exists before you purchase a property.
If you would like a quick educational overview of the Dipping Bedrock issue, check out this web page which features photos and area maps of the Dipping Bedrock Hazard Areas. Be sure to click back to the other parts of the report for more detailed information.
