Foundation settlement is the downward movement of a building to below its original position. Foundation settlement is usually caused by the shifting or compaction of the underlying soil due to many reasons. A few of the more common causes of foundation settlement are:

• Weak bearing soils – some soils are not capable of supporting the weight or pressure exerted by the building’s foundation
• Poor compaction – When fills soils are not adequately compacted, it can compress under a foundation load resulting in settlement
• Changes in moisture content – Excess moisture content within foundation soils leads to weakening of the soil reducing the ability of
  the soil to support the load. Loss of moisture in soil can cause it to shrink resulting in decrease in soil volume.
• Maturing trees and vegetation – Maturing trees and bushes in close proximity to a home can draw moisture from the soil beneath the foundation causing foundation settlement.
• Soil consolidation – When the weight of a structure compresses the newly-placed fill soils to weak clayey soils, this consolidation results in the downward movement of the overlying structure.
