What are Foundation Problems?

A foundation is the base of your home, and it's crucial for its structural stability. Foundation problems can occur for various reasons, including:

• Expansive soils: These soils expand and contract with changes in moisture content, putting pressure on your foundation.
• Poor drainage: Water that pools around your foundation can weaken the soil and lead to foundation cracks.
• Tree roots: Tree roots can grow under your foundation, causing it to shift and crack.
• Improper construction: If your foundation wasn't built correctly, it may be more susceptible to problems.

There are several different types of foundation repair, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The best type of repair for your home will depend on the specific problem you're experiencing.

• Underpinning: This method involves excavating around your foundation and installing new footings to support it.
