1/ Evaporation
Hot, dry wind and intense heat cause the soil to shrink beneath the foundation.

Water from plumbing leaks is often the cause of severe foundation problems.
3/ Transpiration
Tree roots may desiccate the soil beneath a home causing the soil to shrink.

Improper drainage is one of the leading causes of foundation failure. Excess moisture will erode or consolidate and cause settlement.

Poor soil and its expansion and/or contraction contribute to foundation failure.

Soft, low density soils and/or improperly compacted soil beneath a home is the leading cause of foundation failure.
