Foundation Problems
Foundation movement occurs when the soil under your home shrinks or shifts. When this happens all or parts of your foundation will experience vertical movement such as sinking, sloping and settling, which can cause cracks in your foundation and the interior of your home. Lateral movement occurs when the soil outside the foundation walls expands. These movements are attributed to changes in soil conditions, and most commonly occur in clay soil. This movement can cause cracking, bowing and leaning of the affected walls. Other causes attributing to foundation problems are climate, poorly compacted soil, improper drainage, irrigation and plumbing leaks. Arizona Foundation Works will carefully evaluate your foundation to identify the source of the damage and provide you with a solution tailored to your needs. At Arizona Foundation Works, we utilize the latest technologies available to us to achieve optimal results for you.
