Your foundation relies on the stability of the soil beneath it. Some soils handle moisture changes well, while others, known as expansive soils, expand and contract significantly with temperature and water fluctuations. This can lead to issues for your foundation. During freeze-thaw cycles or after heavy rainfall, the soil expands, putting pressure on your foundation walls and causing cracks. In dry conditions, the soil contracts, leading to uneven sinking. Since this settlement rarely happens uniformly, parts of your home might shift more than others, causing cracks, leaks, and structural damage.
