Most foundations are built not to fail. Built on a rock that doesn't move, your house or other structure will not move by itself. Foundations move because the soil, under and around it, shrinks, swells, compacts or erodes. Usually a combination.
Soils fail to support for a number of reasons. They get dry and shrink, they get wet and swell, fill dirt compacts under weight and soils on slopes are carried away by rain.
In the days to come I will explain how these affect your soils and how the soils affect the foundation of your structure and how they can be prevented, reversed or repaired.
Remember: Foundation Companies Sell Piers...Not Solutions.
If you are concerned about the health of your foundation sign up, comeback often or contact me.
I'll be back.
