Why Do These Issues Happen?

Underneath your home and driveway, the topsoil is gradually moving around. It contracts and expands due to exposure to water, heat or cold and other elements. Drawing of a small house with a sinking structure

This slow, but regular motion might cause the structure on top of the soil be stressed.

Portions of house foundations might slightly move upwards or down or sideways. But even a minimal movement, over time, may lead to one serious problem with the structure itself.

Even when you cannot affect the weather conditions or the physical makeup of the ground here in Western San Fernando Valley, constructing a house that sits on a residential lot with poor drainage or inappropriate grading can be key elements in whether or not your property develops a nasty structure situation.

In addition, just having proper rain gutters will help keep excess water from accumulating near your house. It’s a easy enough task that can have a large influence.

The particular physical make up of the soil your house was built on is also a prime factor as well.

A few types of clay soil can swell more than others will when they get wet. There are areas of California where these problem clay soils give homeowners problems.

One other less common cause that can develop sometimes comes from having a great tree planted too close to your home. When that tree grows too large it may cause problems as its roots spread beneath the building and puts stress on sewer pipes and anything else it touches.

These types of external stress might promote very small cracking in your home’s foundation. These smallish cracks permit in moisture and little bugs, and these smaller cracks may get larger as time goes on.
