Cracks in foundation cement and interior drywall, uneven floors and doors or window that unevenly in the frame indicate foundation settling that will get worse if not corrected. These problems may appear slowly, or develop suddenly in the wake of a rainy season.
Improperly compacted backfill soils under the house can create conditions that undermine the foundation. Homes close to bodies of water such as lakes, streams or rivers also are at particular risk because of higher moisture content in the soil. Water patterns that builders didn’t detect during construction could wash away protective layers of soil around or under the house allowing intrusion that causes the foundation to sink.
Tree roots can silently create problems under a foundation, either by growth and extension of a healthy tree’s root system under the home or the biodegradation of a root system from a tree that died or was cut down.
The important thing to know is you can stop the sinking and restore the house to structural alignment for good with just one call to Cantsink.
