If you routinely complete your home’s interior and exterior walkthrough to review these items, you can quickly identify problems early before they cause more severe and costly damage.
But why does your foundation crack in the first place? Fluctuating moisture levels and expanding soil is the cause of most foundation failures. When excess water builds up in the soil, it starts to swell. Too little water makes the soil shrink. Unless the moisture level in the soil under your home is consistent, the soil will shrink and swell, which puts pressure on the foundation. This pressure causes cracking and settling.
Moisture problems can come from humidity, rain, flooding, plumbing leaks, improper drainage, a high water table, or a combination of these issues. Soil loses moisture in times of drought, and this is especially true around your home’s perimeter because it can dry out more quickly.
Foundation problems can also be caused by mistakes in the pre-construction phase of a home building project. If the soil isn’t uniformly compacted, or part of the house is built on clay and part on rock, it will cause uneven settling during seasonal shifts in temperature or humidity levels.
Whatever the cause of your damage, we can help repair damage and prevent future problems. To schedule Woodlands Foundation Repair, contact us today. One of our experienced professionals will provide an inspection and estimate to help keep your home safe.
