Moisture

Our arch nemesis has got to be the potential for moisture to break into any foundation be it slab concrete or pier and beam crawl spaces. Moisture can be difficult to notice at first but it can take forms in different ways such as water vapor or humidity. When the moisture or water evaporates this will then rise and find its way through a weak or damage crawl space and eventually make its way to the remainder of the home. Easier ways to notice if moisture has contaminated your crawl space is if it has manifested into mildew or mold. Further from actually physical construction liabilities, the moisture can also cause unhealthy air circulation, which may lead to health concern for you and family members.

House Settling

Settling is the initial and is single handily the larger concern from most when a crack is noticed. However few really understand the causes and remedies for house settling. To accurately repair settling when it has impacted a property, you must understand if first it is actually settling and second how it can be prevented in the future. Frequently, settling is cause when the surrounding soils have been weakened and therefore create a unstable footing for any foundation. Part of the initial building process of any foundation is the compacting of surrounding soil and approval of the building lot. If either of these were not done properly, a home could easily be affected by settling from the improper methods used.
