Well every winter since we built our kennel on the rear of our garage, the frost will heave it up about 2" at the end of the 50' length. It lifts the entire length but minimally on the garage end. These are some of the construction details. Pole construction, 35 x 50,inside is 18' wide in kennel area, poured concrete floor with heat in the concrete.Outside is poured concrete with no heat. I have had the builder (professional Covers NYS) come back to observe the condition, more for an opinion not looking anything free. The field man gave no definitive solution. Was at the farm show in Syracuse NY this past Thursday and stopped at their booth and mentioned my issue to who I assume was one of their salesmen. He said it sounds like a water issue as that is what causes most heaving problems. So here is my question, I know my leach field ends just short of my garage location, in fact when we built the kennel it was wet in one corner because of that. So the suggestions the builder rep gave was a 4' deep trench filled with stone running parallel to the kennel to divert the water. As my picture shows I don't have much pitch along the run and also no where to daylight such a trench. So is a dead end trench a waste of time? Just as a point of reference, the propane tank is where the kennel pole building starts and also where the leach field line ends

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
