Causes of Foundation Settlement
There are several causes of foundation settlement, including soil conditions. Wet or dry soil that has become spongy can cause your home's foundation to settle. Wet soil may also occur from long-rooted trees sucking moisture from the ground. Another cause is wet soil from downspouts draining onto the lawn. Muddy soil can also make your foundation sink. Ultimately, the best solution is to have your foundation repaired and your home's foundation reconstructed.
