What Can Cause Foundation Problems?
The foundation of your home was meant to last for the lifetime of your home. But over time things change—the foundation must repeatedly stand up to the forces of nature, weathering happens, and even your home’s surrounding environment changes from time to time. The soil beneath your home can shift or compact, and your foundation can begin to settle or sink. Meanwhile, when it rains, water pressure against your foundation walls can lead to severe damage and further problems inside your home.
It’s unknown when or how fast this can happen. However, once settling or wall damage occurs, it never gets better on its own. Foundation problems can only get worse with time, and the longer you wait, the more damage will need to be repaired.
This can endanger your home’s structural integrity, and the damage can also harm the re-sale value of your home. Home inspectors and real estate agents know to look for warning signs and then, if the buyer isn’t scared away, deep discounts are expected to repair the problem.
Causes of foundation problems:
- Hydrostatic Pressure: As water is soaked up into the soil surrounding your home’s foundation, more weight and pressure begins to build against your foundation’s walls. As great as our foundation walls may be, hydrostatic pressure can still cause your foundation walls to crack, tilt, or bow. With cracks, water can even begin to leak into your foundation and into your basement, causing further damage.
- Problems with Drainage: Not all drains are created equal, and when a draining solution for your foundation and basement is not being effective, it can lead to standing water that can deal further damage to your foundation as well as erode the surrounding soil.
- Expansive Soils: If your land, especially that around your house, is rich in expansive soils such as various clay minerals, it can spell trouble for when there’s a heavy rain. These soils soak up much more water than other soils, causing massive expansion as well as shrinking. This repeated process can lead to immense pressures on your foundation wall while making room for more water to seep down and begin wearing at your foundation.
- Trees and Their Roots: The roots of trees will seek out water wherever it may be—even if that water is hiding in your drainage pipes or under your foundation. These roots can begin to separate the soil around and beneath your home, which can lead to home settlement.
- Loose, Poorly Compacted Foundation Soil: When foundation soil is introduced to help fill in hollow depressions and gaps, sometimes that soil can be left too loose. This can encourage water collection and erosion, and it can cause your home to settle as it begins to compress that new, loose soil.
