Research suggests if the mineral is in the stone aggregate and mixed with concrete it could have a devastating effect. Over time, air and water seep into the pourous concrete causing the pyrrhotite to swell and expand. It lead to the cracks, pushing the house up and eventually could lead to the failure of the foundation.
