Does it happen that sometimes when you drop a Tylenol, or your kid drops their toy ball, do they always roll to one side of the house? Is there that one side that the office chairs always creeps towards? Are your floors uneven? Sometimes the surrounding earth our houses are built on can compromise the structures foundation over time. Other times it is the actual foundation. There can be structural problems from the beginning in the way that it was built. Soil can shrink or there can be erosion of the actual foundation. The roots of trees can also get in the way and cause problems.

Foundation Movement

In house structures that have entire basements, pier and beam foundations, or slab foundations, foundation movement can offcut. If there is a lot of pushing and settling it is possible that the foundation will be damaged and it will begin to crack. When this is happening it is important to get experts like the ones at Jacksonville Foundation Repair. Our contractors know how to solve these problems. We can expertly level a house so it seems like the foundation is brand new and has never moved an inch. Doing this will help restore your home to it’s strongest state.

Complications of Earth

When the earth gets really dry the soil is not as compact. Having trees in your yard can really brighten up the look of your home, but one must be careful how close the trees are to the house. If the trees roots extend to underneath the house it is possible that the roots will soak up a lot of moisture under the foundation. If the moisture under the foundation is taken away the soil that is sits on will dry out and become more loose. This can cause the house to shift because dry soil is loose and not stable.
