Foundation Stabilization Print E-mail
When you've noticed cracking in your exterior walls, doors and windows begin to stick or will not close properly you are experiencing foundation settlement. This problem frequently occurs in areas that are composed of highly expansive clay soils or contain deep veins of soil high in organics such as peat moss. As the soils dry out they shrink. When the soils become saturated with water they swell and heave. Any structure resting on this base will almost always remain unstable. Water tables also may rise or fall with the weather or an increase in new building construction in the area, thus creating a change in the soil moisture content.
