Poor Building Site Preparation
Cut and fill situations, where soil is removed from part of the lot and stacked on another, must be compacted properly before your home is constructed; otherwise unexpected movements of the soil beneath the foundation may occur.
Poor Ground Preparation
Improperly graded home sites often lead to future foundation issues. Grading should always divert water away from your home as to not allow water to seep under the foundation.
Poor Soil Conditions
Poor soil, organic components, debris, etc., may cause consolidation, which contributes to foundation failures. |
