Not everyone needs to have foundation repair, but when you need it you will really be certain that you do. Many times a sinking foundation is discovered when cupboards, interior doors, cabinets and windows don't close properly and strange creaking noise are hear with the house.
In many areas of the country the soil may be excessively sandy or clay like, and the foundation can actually sink or shift as the earth moves. When the soil is not stable, neither will be your home.
The thing to do if you suspect that you are having foundation problems, is to have a register foundation contractor come by and give you an evaluation.
If it is discovered that you are on sinking ground or changing soil, then an excavation can be completed and your foundation can be shored up and leveled. The foundation can then literally set upon steel or concrete piers that reach all the way down to bedrock, or to slabs of steel or concrete below.
By doing this procedure in strategic locations under your house, you can provide a very stable platform that will correct any deficiency in the soil that is not now giving you support for your foundation.
