Foundation Issues Aren’t Cosmetic—They’re Structural

When a foundation is poured improperly or settles unevenly, it causes a ripple effect of structural problems—cracked walls, shifting floors, and water intrusion. Homeowners often don’t realize the issue until symptoms appear far from the slab or footings. These problems, if ignored, escalate quickly into high-cost repairs and safety risks.

We specialize in evaluating residential foundation defects by reviewing geotechnical reports, slab design, drainage plans, and execution methods. When builders cut corners—whether on concrete strength, depth, compaction, or waterproofing—we document how and why the failure occurred. Our findings support liability claims and clarify the cause of long-term damage.

Foundation Warning Signs

Understanding Design Load, Drainage & Site Prep Failures

Foundation design must account for structural load, site conditions, and soil composition. When these are miscalculated or ignored, homeowners inherit the risk. Poor drainage planning, skipped compaction, or the use of unreinforced slabs are major contributors to post-construction movement.

We review foundation plans, rebar layout, engineering specs, and soil compaction tests to determine where compliance fell short. In many cases, the root cause stems from low-cost shortcuts that ignored building code and engineering intent. This documentation becomes vital for insurance claims, breach of contract cases, and structural defect litigation.

How We Help Resolve Foundation Disputes

We provide in-depth investigation, documentation, and expert witness testimony for foundation-related claims. Whether the issue stems from design errors, soil movement, or poor concrete work, we break down the cause in terms the court can understand.

Our analysis includes plan comparison, defect photos, on-site measurements, and local code references. This helps attorneys, property owners, and insurers pursue financial recovery, stop further structural loss, and enforce contractor accountability.
