Foundation Failure

Why?  

Most foundation failure is caused by excessive movement of the soils & not by poor construction of the foundation.  Typically soils in Tennessee are expansive and because of this foundations for homes and buildings shift as the soils shifts.  With rain the soils expand and with droughts the soils shrink. Concrete does not perform well with this type of movement.

What?

Common signs are cracks in brick, gaps around one side of an exterior door or window, bowing fascia board interior distress on an exterior wall, sloping of floor towards exterior wall.
