What Causes Foundation Damage?

Damage to your foundation can be caused by a few things, including poor planning before and during the home’s construction, drainage problems, plumbing, and Mother Nature. All of these can result in your foundation settling, which is when the soil is weakened and unable to support your home.

Poor Foundation Construction
Sometimes low-quality steel is used as structural support for a home's foundation. This can cause the foundation to move and shift which can result in cracks in the cement, brick or concrete slab.

Evaporation
Hot, dry weather removes the moisture from the soil, causing it to contract and shrink away from your foundation. This can cause structural problems like bowed walls, cracked bricks or drywall cracks.

Leaks From Plumbing
A plumbing leak can create more problems than rotting drywall or wet floors; it can damage the structural support of your home, putting more stress on your home's foundation.

Poor Drainage or Improper Grade
Water that doesn't drain away from your home will lead to moisture build up, like puddles forming around your foundation, which can erode soil or cause the soil to expand and push against your home's foundation. This can cause bowed walls and cracks in your foundation.

Poor Soil Condition
This can occur naturally or when the home's builder does not prepare the soil properly. Prior to laying the cement foundation, the soil needs to be analyzed and prepared, as instructed by a soil engineer, to ensure your home is built on solid ground.
