Foundation problems can happen for many reasons:
- Too Much Water: Heavy rains can make soil swell and push against your walls.
- Not Enough Water: Drought can make soil shrink and pull away from your foundation.
- Surrounding Soil: Clay soil can expand and contract, causing your foundation to move.
- Poor Drainage: Water not draining properly can damage your foundation.
- Poor Preparation: Your foundation might settle if builders don’t prepare the soil well.
- Poor Construction: Bad building techniques can make your foundation crack or shift.
