        "text": "In Denver, Aurora, and nearby front-range communities, expansive soils cause seasonal foundation movement that can stress framing and crack finished walls. Basements in Centennial, Parker, and Greenwood Village frequently use floating framing systems designed to absorb soil shifting without pushing up into main-level joists. Drywall must be hung with deliberate gaps at the base of floating walls so that ground movement does not crush or buckle the lower edge of the gypsum panels. Proper spacing and flexible caulking along floor plates protect finished basements from local shifting conditions.",
