Most foundation issues come from changes in the soil around your home. When the ground becomes too wet or too dry, it shifts, and that movement puts stress on the foundation. Poor drainage or water leaks can weaken the soil even more. Tree roots and landscaping choices sometimes contribute by pulling moisture out of the ground.
All homes settle over time, but when that settling becomes uneven, cracks and structural problems start to appear. Understanding the source of that movement helps us choose the right repair solution.
