What Causes Foundation Settlement?
When the soil beneath a structure loses strength or compresses, the foundation may begin to sink or shift. Causes include poor compaction, clay soils, moisture fluctuations, or erosion from poor drainage. The result? Visible damage, uneven floors, and potential collapse if left unchecked.
Common Warning Signs
- Cracks in walls or floors that widen over time
- Doors and windows sticking or misaligned
- Sloping or uneven floors
- Gaps between baseboards, walls, or ceilings
Why Address It Immediately?
Foundation settlement only gets worse with time. It can lead to major structural damage, loss of safety, and a massive hit to property value. Early intervention is critical to avoid costly reconstruction or rebuilding.
Recommended Solution
Underpinning & Piering is the most effective way to stabilize sinking foundations. By transferring the load of the structure to deeper, more stable soils, this method provides long-term support and can even lift settled foundations back into place.
