It’s easy to think of the ground as something solid and immovable, but the truth is that seismic activity, climatic variations, and natural forces all cause the ground to shift every day. In fact, soil expansion results in $13 billion in damage each year. Considering that, balancing something as substantial as a house is no small feat, which is why a solid foundation is a fundamental piece of home engineering.

How is it that some homes can stand for decades without any problems while others bow and crack within a few years? There are various reasons for foundation settlement problems, including natural disasters, improper home design, and simple wear and tear. Luckily, foundation repair services are available to correct these issues. Check out this infographic to learn about some of the most common causes and symptoms of foundation failure.
