Common Problems
Bulges
Temperature changes usually cause serious problems and can lead to abnormal settling and potential collapse of the building.
Cracking
The settling of the soil and nearby vibrations is responsible for most cracking. Normal cracking is usually easy to repair and does not pose a serious threat to the home structure and security. However, keep monitoring cracks and calling a professional if the cracks deteriorate or there are more cracks.
Leaking
You will experience leaking in the home as the water penetrates through cracks in the foundation. Water can erode and spawn a mold breeding ground.

Foundation Repair
Basements are the most difficult foundation type because of their common depth of 8 feet. Depending on the type and scope of the damage, the costs of cellar repair are usually costly.
The slab foundations are the easiest and cheapest home foundation. A concrete pad is poured on top of 4-6 inches of gravel directly with a plastic sheet separating it to keep humidity away. The downside is that the foundation work may not be easily accessible. Sewer lines are also incorporated into the concrete sheet. The cost of repair varies.
Crawl Space lifts the house from the ground and makes it easy to access the flowers and ducts. It's comparable to the cost of building a crawl space.
