What factors contribute to foundation settlement and sinking?

Foundation settlement and sinking can be attributed to several factors, including soil type, moisture content changes, poor compaction during construction, and the weight of the structure itself. Soil that expands and contracts with moisture variations can cause movement and settling, while poorly compacted fill soil may compress under the weight of the building. To address these issues, it's essential to seek professional help. Call Scaldino Basement Solutions at (908) 388-9831 for expert foundation repair services.
