Causes By  Foundation Problems

Foundation problems are caused by the continuously changing conditions of the soils around your home. Clay soil expands as it absorbs moister and contracts as it dries. That can cause foundation to move, settle and crack. Too much soil moister due to inadequate drainage is yet another source of foundation problem. Any or these entire factors can also cause doors and windows to stick and create cracks in drywall and around your home; all resulting in the potential for significant damage to your home. 

Under-Slab Plumbing  Leaks: These leaks create excessive moister in one area under your foundation and may cause that area the stability of your concrete slab.

Expansive Clay  Soils: Soils have different potential to shrink and swell. The more expansive around your home the more your foundation may be subject to movement. 

Seasonal  Weather: Dry and Wet weather cycles produce a constantly changing soil bed under your homes foundation.The expansion and contraction of the soil over time can weaken the support for your foundation and cause it to settle and crack.

Poor  Drainage: Foundation problems can be caused by too much moister as well as too little.  Standing water around your home, with large amounts of water dumoed by gutters, down spouts or a negative slope of the area around your home can cause saturated soil. 

Trees and Tree  Roots: A large tree may drink up to 150 gallons of water per day; when the roots are under or near your foundation the drying process may cause one part of the foundation to move more.
