This movement can lead to uneven floors, cracks in walls, and structural concerns in residential and commercial buildings. Addressing these issues promptly helps prevent further damage and maintains the integrity of the structure.
Visible cracks in walls, uneven flooring, and doors or windows that stick are common indicators of foundation settlement.
Soil expansion and contraction, poor drainage, and soil type contribute to foundation settling or sinking over time.
Foundation specialists conduct thorough inspections, including measurements and assessments, to determine the extent of movement and appropriate repair methods.
