Common Causes of Foundation Issues Leading to House Levelling
Soil Erosion: Erosion can wash away the soil supporting your foundation.
Poor Construction: Improperly compacted soil or faulty designs leads to uneven settling.
Water Damage: Moisture from plumbing leaks, flooding, or poor drainage weaken the foundation.
Expansive Soil: Certain types of soil, like clay, expand when wet and shrink when dry.
Tree Roots: Roots from large trees near the house can grow under the foundation, lifting and breaking it.
Ground Movement: Natural ground movement, including earthquakes and sinkholes, can shift the foundation.
Settling or Shifting Soil: Over time, soil naturally settles and shifts.
Aging Foundation: Older homes may have foundations that have deteriorated over time.
