My brother lives up in Northern Vermont , it gets REAL cold up there , and He built on a slab ( 3 Stories ) . Just to add what Clinton says , Plumbing will go thru the slab , Drains etc . But they don't have any issues and its been about 10 years now .

No signs of anytihng occurring . Mine is a split ranch ( raised ) and We are in the basement a lot and have no issues either just a little damp and cold but we have a fireplace and heat so its ok .....
