Moisture problems
Understanding Foundation Cracking:
Foundation cracking is primarily caused by fluctuating moisture levels and soil expansion. When the soil absorbs excess water, it swells, and when it dries out, it shrinks. Inconsistent moisture levels beneath your home can result in pressure on the foundation, leading to cracks and settling.
Sources of Moisture Problems:
Moisture problems can stem from various sources, including humidity, rain, flooding, plumbing leaks, improper drainage, and a high water table. Soil around your home’s perimeter tends to dry out quickly during droughts.
Construction-Related Issues:
Mistakes made during the pre-construction phase can also contribute to foundation problems. Inconsistent soil compaction or building on different soil types can lead to uneven settling during seasonal shifts in temperature or humidity levels.
