What Causes Foundation Problems in Anchorage?

Foundation settlement occurs when your home’s foundation shifts and unevenly sinks into the ground. Soil changes over time and initial construction issues can also lead to a weak or failing foundation. The best foundation repair solution is one that has been customized for the conditions and history of your home.

The Impact of Soils

The soil your home is built on and that surrounds the home plays a major role in the stability and strength of your foundation. Expansive soils shrink and expand with the dramatic changes that each season brings, exerting pressure against basement and crawl space walls. Hydrostatic pressure leads to uneven settlement, where the foundation sinks unevenly into the soil.

Loosely compacted “fill soil” (the soil that was added back after your home’s foundation was dug out and constructed) also contributes to foundation problems. Leaks, excessive humidity, groundwater levels, drainage and the angle of the foundation to your yard and garden all play a role in how your foundation performs. Luckily, Foundation Supportworks offers effective proven techniques to stabilize foundations. Your Anchorage foundation repair contractor in the Foundation Supportworks network can design a solution that prevents further movement, cracking, or bowing, and permanently strengthens and stabilizes your foundation.
