Foundation issues can be daunting, as a homeowner. The telltale signs can include interior and/or exterior cracking and doors that don't close properly. The first step is usually to hire a structural engineer to perform an inspection. Often, the structural engineer will recommend a geotechnical investigation, which typically includes soil borings, to identify the cause. Causes can include wet soils/improper drainage or soils that too dry (desiccation). With the wet spring and summer of 2019 in Illinois, wet clay soils or drainage is a common cause. Once the cause is identified, then we can work with the owner to come up with cost effective solution. Call or email us today to see if we can help you.
