Foundation Repair Solutions for Homeowners in Atlanta: Common Signs of Trouble
Hot and dry conditions are common in the Atlanta area. During drought causes moisture evaporation, which can cause soil to shrink. This can create extra space or voids beneath the foundation footer, causing the foundation to settle or sink.
Transpiration caused by tree roots can dehydrate soil, which also causes soil shrinkage and can cause settlement of your home’s foundation. Another common cause of foundation damage includes improper drainage around the home.
Standing water and erosion can weaken and undermine a foundation. Poor building-site preparation when your home was built can also cause future foundation damage. Building site preparation includes improperly compacted fill soil which can cause settling problems over time. Our local soil conditions also play a major role in foundation damage. The soil in the Atlanta area is primarily clay which can contract and expand, weakening and damaging foundations.
