Where are North Carolina’s basements?

In the Northern United States builders are required to build below the frost line. The frost line is the depth of the land where water in the ground is expected to freeze. The keep a home structurally sound from the expansion of water they must build the foundation or basement below this frost line. The frost line can easily be over 6’ deep. This is a whole lot of square footage and can easily be put to use. North Carolina’s frost line is only around 12”.

Another issue is clay. Clay holds a lot of water. There are many water issues to be concerned with when it comes to basements in the area.
