Exterior Foundation Settling

This home had a lot of exterior cracks due to the home settling. Settling can occur from a handful of things, such as erosion, flooding, and simply because the soil was not properly prepared before the house was built on top of it. One thing is for sure, these cracks are unsightly and settling can cause major foundation problems down the road.

Moisture in Crawl Space

For one, this crawl space has an uncovered soil ground. The moisture from the soil evaporates into the air and becomes condensation on cooler surfaces. This leads to mold, which weakens the supporting beams.

Crawl Space Cracks

More evidence is throughout the house points to the home settling.

Buckling and Bowing Wall

This basement has its fair share of moisture, which is causing mold to grow, but it has another severe problem, as well. The pressure from the soil outside this basement wall and the weight of the home is causing this wall to bow. It has the high possibility of collapsing if nothing is done about it.
