Why Does This Situation Happen?

Another factor that influences this issue is the scientific makeup of the soil under the house.

Various kinds of soil differ in the volume of water they retain. Some soil keeps more moisture (thereby swelling) more than other varieties do.

The ground around Tacoma and Pierce County is considered only mildly absorbent, so that factor is in yyour favor.

One more fairly uncommon cause for property problems takes place when you have a really large tree close to your home. This tree might create an issue if it’s roots extend underneath the house and affect your structure or sewer and water pipes.

The long roots from a big tree too near your house might also draw out all the moisture out from the soil underneath your house. Naturally, this could only come up in the middle of a dry and hot Summer.

After a few years, you might see minor cracks around the basement of your property. These little cracks let in air and moisture, and then those small cracks might get slightly larger each year.
