There are a variety of causes for foundation cracks or shifting for your home. Kinetic Basement Solutions has seen them all and can advise you on the best method to stop and repair any type of foundation issue in Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs and all of Eastern NY.
Hot and dry conditions cause clay soils to expand and contract, which in turn starts to compromise the soils integrity around and under the foundation and walkways. Settlement due to this foundation moisture imbalance can cause cracks to appear throughout the property.
Tree roots can dehydrate the soil beneath the foundation causing shrinkage and thus causing foundation issues. They can also grow beneath existing driveways and structures, which will cause a heaving effect of the area.
Water from leaky plumbing is often a major contributor to foundation problems including heaving and effervescence becoming noticeable around the affected area.
Improper drainage will lead to excess moisture build up, which can erode or consolidate soils. Excessive moisture may cause heaving of expansive clay soils beneath your home or walkways.
Cut and fill situations, where soil is removed from part of the building site and stacked on another, needs proper soil stabilization before a structure is built; otherwise unexpected movements of the soils beneath the foundation may occur. This is very problematic in cities that allow building on slopes and hillsides.
