Causes of Foundation Failure


Evaporation

- Hot and dry conditions cause soil to shrink


Transpiration

- Tree roots dehydrate soil, causing soil shrinkage and settlement of your home’s footing/slabs.


Drainage

- Improper drainage causes increased hydraulic pressure in basement walls.


Poor Building Site Preparation

- Improperly compacted fill soil causes construction problems.


Poor Soil Conditions

- Expansive clay soil and organic debris cause contraction and expansion of the soil. These conditions contribute to structural failure.
