Foundation Repair for Sinking Homes in Biltmore Lake

A foundation is entirely dependent on the earth underneath and around it to provide it with the robust support it needs, and this is why you need foundation repair services immediately. An analogy could be to compare your own home to a notebook computer. If you place the laptop on a firm, level family table it's going to remain safe; but if you set the same laptop on a bed pillow, there's a good possibility it's going to start to tip one way or the other. The dirt underneath and around your foundation is either like the desk or even the pillow: if conditions change, the house on top of volatile dirt will move and settle in another location. If abnormal settling is allowed to remain unchecked, it can cause continuous costly repairs to the home or, in a worst case scenario, result in a quick and precipitous collapse of all or perhaps part of the structure.

Foundation Settlement Causes Biltmore Lake

Damaged Foundation Wall

Every single property is different, and an excessive amount of foundation settlement causes could be:

  • Unsound earth
  • Inadequate compaction at the time of constructing
  • Improperly designed drainage system
  • Big tree roots
  • Plumbing leakage
