The Most Common Causes of Sinking Foundation

There are three main causes of a sinking foundation. The soil under your foundation can naturally move over time, especially if your home was built on non-compacted soil. Construction can also affect your foundation, especially if there is poor mortar composition.

Identifying the cause of your sinking foundation will help us create a more effective plan in order to repair your foundation. It will also allow us to find the best solutions in preventing the problem from happening again!

Some of the key signs of a sinking foundation include:

Exterior Signs of Foundation Settlement

  • Standing water in your basement, crawlspace, or around the perimeter of the home’s foundation
  • Gaps between walls and windows
  • Chimneys tilting or leaning
  • Sagging corners

Interior Signs of Foundation Settlement

  • Cracking in your walls and ceilings
  • Floors that slope
  • Frequent nail pops
  • Doors that do not shut properly
  • Leaning walls
Our Expert Solutions

At SRE Enterprises, we have several methods of repairing a sinking foundation. Our expert solutions will depend on different factors, including the cause of your sinking foundation and the severity of the damage. 

One of the most common methods of repairing a sinking foundation is installing foundation piers. This involves our crew digging deep into the ground to find secure bedrock, and propping the foundation up using the piers. If the cause of your sinking foundation is due to water issues, we will also want to target those and remediate them as soon as possible.
