Do You Have Structural Issues with Your Home?
Common Causes
The same conditions that cause water to enter the basement can also contribute to a foundation problem. Water and structural issues can exist together, and they can also exist independently of each other. An ongoing, unmitigated water issue can ultimately lead to foundation issue for the house or building. It is also possible for a foundation problem to occur even when water is not the culprit.
The following will identify common causes for foundation or structural issues that can occur:
Hydrostatic Pressure
Poorly Constructed Foundations
Poor Exterior Grading
Improperly Working Gutters
Shrink/Swell (Expansion/Contraction)
Trees and Tree Roots
