COMMON CAUSES OF HOME FOUNDATION DAMAGE
Soil-Related Issues
The secret behind a healthy foundation is healthy soil. When moisture levels are heavy, clay soils can shrink and expand, which leads the foundation to shift or crack. Poorly compacted fill soils can also cause settling.
Water Damage & Poor Drainage
Heavy rains, floods, or even leaks can make the soil expand. This will strain the foundation. While drought will cause the soil to shrink, this will create gaps and will eventually lead to the foundation carcking and sinking.
Construction Errors
Always keep an eye out for cheap materials or errors when constructing. Your foundation is a long-term investment if it's not properly built, it will create issues over time.
Age of the House
Foundations can naturally settle and develop fractures over time. Older homes may experience foundation issues simply because they are old and age does matter when it comes to foundations.
