Causes of Foundation Problems
- Foundation problems are many times caused by changes in the moisture content of the soil around your home. During extended periods of dry weather, the soil around and under your home can shrink, causing your home to settle. When these conditions occurs, you may begin to notice foundation cracks throughout your home that indicate foundation settlement. During extremely wet periods, the soil under your home can soften or even collapse which can also cause your home to sink and settle.
- Another foundation problem is bowing walls. If your home has a basement or crawlspace you may notice foundation cracks in the walls, which can be caused when hydrostatic pressure is put on the wall after a heavy rain. When hydrostatic pressure puts pressure on your foundation wall, it can cause it to move inward. If your basement walls begin to fail, you will notice foundation cracks as the wall starts to bow, buckle, tip, or slide inward.
- There are many reasons that foundation problems exist and Waterproof Solutions can help you understand what caused the problem and your options for fixing it. Our foundation experts would be happy to contact you for a free inspection and estimate. Foundation cracks can be an unsettling problem that leaves you concerned about the condition of your home.
