Foundation Settlement
When people say that a strong foundation is the most important part of almost anything, they aren't lying. If the soil your foundation was built into can't adequately support your home's load, foundation settlement is inevitable. Air pockets form when the soil moves, and those pockets of air can't support heavy weight. This means that the home built on this failing foundation will move, crack, and shift over time, causing all sorts of undesirable settlement issues. Cracks will become steadily apparent, and the structural weakening of everything supporting your home is already underway. The type of soil is also an important factor in determining how much worse your foundation settlement could get. For example, bedrock won't typically allow settlement as significant as clay might. Cracks in your foundation caused by settlement are no joke and need to be addressed right away. If you live in Tampa and have settlement issues in your foundation, call our repair team today!
