Foundation Heave vs. Foundation Settlement: What’s the Difference?
The type of foundation problems you have can determine what methods of house leveling we use. Typically, your house is uneven due to a foundation heave or a foundation settlement.
Foundation Heave
A foundation heave occurs when a section of your house rises above the normal level. When soil becomes dry or wet, it expands and shrinks. With excess moisture buildup, the soil expands, causing parts of your house to rise with it.
Foundation Settlement
Foundation settlement is the opposite - it happens when part of your foundation sinks or sags. When soil moves under your home, it can settle in a way that takes your home with it.

Why Does My Home Need Leveling?
It's important to discover and handle the cause of your house settlement so it doesn't continue. Then, we can repair and upgrade your foundation to ensure that future problems do not occur.
There are several reasons your home may need house leveling, including:
- Improper Drainage: If your yard isn’t draining properly, it can lead to water pooling near your foundation. This moisture can erode the soil under your foundation.
- Soil Movement: When soil becomes wet or dry, it can expand and shrink, shifting your foundation in the process. This can make your home settle unevenly.
- Poor Construction & Compaction: If your home was built with subpar materials or was constructed or compacted poorly, you could face foundation problems or uneven foundation settling.
- Tree Roots: If tree roots grow under or near the foundation of your home, it can shift the soil underneath and cause your home to settle unevenly.
