Foundation failure is primarily caused by shifting and moving soils below or around your foundation. Loose, poorly compacted soil begins to compact on its own over time causing your foundation to shift and move with it. This leads to many of the common foundation problems and symptoms that you may see around your home or business. Hydrostatic pressure can also play a role. This occurs when oversaturated soil around your foundation begins to apply pressure to the exterior walls of your foundation. This is the reason you may discover bowing or leaning walls in your basement. If left unchecked, the bowing walls can collapse inward, which is another form of foundation failure.
