Expansive Soils: A Hidden Threat to Your Foundation
Expansive soils can cause significant damage to your home’s foundation over time. These types of soils expand when wet and contract when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation that can lead to cracks, shifting, and other structural issues. At APS Foundation Repair, we are experienced in dealing with the challenges posed by expansive soils and offer solutions to protect your home from this hidden threat.
Why Are Expansive Soils a Problem?
Expansive soils can lead to serious foundation issues for several reasons:
- Soil Expansion and Contraction: Expansive soils swell when they absorb moisture and shrink when they dry out, causing the foundation to move.
- Uneven Pressure: The movement caused by expansive soils can apply uneven pressure to your foundation, leading to cracks and structural damage.
- Moisture Fluctuations: Poor drainage or changes in weather patterns can increase the moisture content in the soil, exacerbating the expansion and contraction cycle.
- Soil Composition: Expansive soils contain a high level of clay, which absorbs water and exerts force on your foundation.
If expansive soils are left unaddressed, the continuous movement can cause severe damage to your home’s foundation, leading to uneven floors, cracks in walls, and other structural problems. APS specializes in addressing the unique challenges of expansive soils and ensuring your foundation is stable and secure.
