Top Causes of House Foundation Problems

A home's foundation is often considered the most essential part of a property as its primary purpose is to hold the house up. Without a solid foundation, your house can quickly sink into the ground unevenly. If it does, it might be too late to call for a company specializing in foundation services in Madison.

That said, it’s best to prevent any foundation problems from occurring in the first place. To do this, you should familiarize yourself with the following top causes of foundation issues:

• Too Much or Little Moisture in the Soil Underneath
If there’s one element often associated with life, it’s water. But when it comes to your house’s foundation, water is a dangerous thing. If the soil underneath your home’s foundation contains too much of it, it will swell, expand, and push on the foundation. As a result, you will notice cracks in your ceilings, walls, and floors.

While too much water causes foundation problems, too little or no water in the soil underneath your property’s foundation is also a bad thing. When the soil dries out, it can shrink and pull away from the foundation. It can also cause cracks in your floors, walls, and ceilings.


• Soil Erosion Because of Improper Drainage
The primary purpose of the drainages in your home is to ensure that water flows away from your property, not towards it. If you have an improperly placed drainage around your home, the soil underneath your property’s foundation will get oversaturated. As a result, the soil will erode, and your house’s foundation can destabilize, causing your walls to buckle and your house to tilt.
