A: Several factors can contribute to foundation issues, including:

• Soil Issues: Expansive clay soil (common in our area) that shrinks and swells with moisture changes.

• Poor Drainage: Inadequate drainage systems that allow water to pool around the foundation.

• Tree Roots: Tree roots growing too close to the foundation can exert pressure and cause damage.

• Poor Construction: Improperly installed foundations or inadequate support.

• Plumbing Leaks: Leaky pipes can saturate the soil and weaken the foundation.
