Why Is The Foundation For
My Home Sinking Or Settling?

For any homeowner with a sinking & settling foundation, it's essential to understand its cause. That is why Kefficient is here to help with some of the most common reasons why your foundation is sinking in Richmond:

Poor Soil Quality

The primary cause of a sinking & settling foundation is the makeup of the soil beneath it. There are many scenarios for poor soil support underneath a house, ranking from excessive moisture to particular soil types that are not conducive to supporting the weight of the home over time.

Soil Erosion

Foundation issues don't happen overnight; it takes years of constant abuse for problems to appear. For many homes, poor drainage causes water to build up and, in this case – erode the soil supporting your foundation, causing it to sink.

Poor Construction

The final possible cause of a sinking foundation is improper construction of the foundation. This is more common in older homes built during times of lax regulations and ignorance of more robust building techniques.
