Foundation Settlement in Carrollton Texas
Foundation settlement can a yearly issue for Carrollton resident and business owners. The expansive clay soil will cause concrete slab foundations to move up and down with soil movement. The post tension concrete slabs primarily in use are designed to float on top of the soil. Think of how a boat floats on the water. When it rains the soil will expand and the foundation will move with the soil. When the soil dries out the clay contracts and the foundation will settle downward with the soil. This is normal movement. When a slab foundation gets out of tolerance it is usually due to a water related issue or grading issue. The most common slab failure will be a tilt. Your front landscaping uses more water then the sides and the rear and a lot of homeowners fail to compensate for this. During the summer the soil will dry out quicker and if your landscaping is consuming most of the water its common to see the slab start to tile to the front. You will usually see signs of cracking in the mortar or brick or inside cracks in the drywall. The more the front beam drops increases the amount of roof weight the beam is carrying which prevents the slab from moving back up towards a level state. At this stage you have to install concrete or steel piers under the perimeter beam to lift and support the slab where its low and to get it lifted back to its original state. Sometimes corner lots will tilt towards the street. This is usually due to the original grading that was done by the builder. When the builder compacts the dirt for the pad they cannot get the soil fully compacted due to the street being to close to operate heavy earth moving equipment. Improper drainage can also be responsible for a slab failure and foundations tilting to the side usually have a drainage issue. The other common failure is when you have a water or sewer leak under the foundation. If your slab dips inside it is a sign of a past or active leak. Sewer leaks erode soil so over time the cushion sand will erode away that the foundation is sitting on. In weighted ares the slab will start to dip down along the path of the leak. A plumber can test both the freshwater and the sewer if you see signs of a leak. If you are in Carrollton and your foundation is showing signs of movement please contact us.
