Charlottesville is a truly gorgeous town with beautiful homes that homeowners put a lot of hard work into. You know how much work you put into your home’s interior and exterior, and it can be devastating when you notice that you have a sinking foundation. Some settlement is normal. However, if you notice that your home is sinking or settling at an alarming rate, it can be a warning sign of a serious foundation problem that needs to be taken care of immediately before the structural integrity of your home is jeopardized even more.
How fast a house settles, though, depends on a number of factors. From the type of soil the house is built on, to water in the soil, and even to tree roots. If you are concerned about cracks in the walls and the creaking sounds your house makes every once in awhile, it might be a sign that your house is settling. Some houses can take decades before it’s fully settled, while others just a few years. A house settling too fast, though, can be a sign of trouble.
