Subsidence and settlement refer to the sinking or downward movement of the ground, often caused by factors such as soil compaction, water drainage, or changes in ground water levels. This movement can put significant stress on foundations, leading to cracks, uneven floors, and other structural problems.

Subsidence and settlement can be caused by a variety of factors, including: * **Soil Compaction:** Over time, soil can become compacted, reducing its ability to support structures. * **Water Drainage:** Poor drainage can lead to soil saturation, which can cause the ground to become unstable and settle. * **Changes in Groundwater Levels:** Fluctuations in groundwater levels can affect the stability of soils, leading to subsidence or settlement. * **Tree Roots:** Large tree roots can exert significant pressure on surrounding soils, causing them to settle or subside. * **Construction Activities:** Excavation or other construction activities can disrupt the natural balance of soils, leading to settlement or subsidence.

Common signs of subsidence include: * **Cracks in Walls and Floors:** Cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings can indicate foundation movement or settlement. * **Uneven Floors:** Floors that are uneven or sloping can be a sign of foundation settlement. * **Sticking Doors and Windows:** Doors and windows that stick or become difficult to open and close can indicate foundation movement. * **Separation Between Walls and Floors:** Gaps or separation between walls and floors can be a sign of foundation settlement. * **Cracking in Concrete Slabs:** Cracks in concrete slabs, such as driveways or patios, can indicate foundation movement or settlement.

When choosing a ground improvement contractor, it's important to consider the following factors: * **Experience and Expertise:** Look for a contractor with extensive experience in ground improvement and foundation repair. * **Reputation:** Check the contractor's reputation by reading online reviews and testimonials. * **Licenses and Certifications:** Ensure the contractor is properly licensed and certified to perform the work. * **Insurance:** Make sure the contractor has adequate insurance coverage to protect you in case of accidents or damage. * **Warranty:** Ask about the contractor's warranty and guarantee on their work.

Different types of foundations are susceptible to subsidence in varying degrees. Some common foundation types include: * **Slab Foundations:** Slab foundations are common in areas with stable soils. However, they can be susceptible to settlement if the underlying soil is weak or compacted. * **Crawl Space Foundations:** Crawl space foundations are typically built on piers or beams that support the structure. They can be susceptible to settlement if the piers or beams are not properly supported or if the soil beneath them is unstable. * **Basement Foundations:** Basement foundations are typically built on concrete walls and floors. They can be susceptible to settlement if the walls or floors are not properly supported or if the soil surrounding them is unstable.

In California, homeowners have several options for foundation repair, including: * **Geopolymer Injection:** Geopolymer injection is a non-disruptive method that involves injecting a high-density geopolymer resin into the soil to strengthen and stabilize the foundation. * **Helical Piers:** Helical piers are long, screw-like supports that are driven into the ground to provide a stable foundation. * **Foundation Lifting:** Foundation lifting involves jacking up the foundation and supporting it on new piers or beams. * **Underpinning:** Underpinning involves adding new supports to an existing foundation to strengthen it and prevent further settlement.

The cost of subsidence treatment can vary depending on the severity of the problem, the type of foundation, and the chosen repair method. It's important to get multiple quotes from reputable contractors to compare prices and ensure you're getting a fair deal.

When treating your home for foundation issues, you can expect the following steps: * **Inspection:** A qualified contractor will inspect your home to assess the severity of the problem and determine the best course of action. * **Repair:** The contractor will perform the necessary repairs, such as geopolymer injection, helical piers, or foundation lifting. * **Monitoring:** The contractor may monitor the foundation after repairs are completed to ensure that the problem is resolved and that the foundation is stable. * **Maintenance:** It's important to maintain your foundation after repairs are completed to prevent future problems. This may include regular inspections, drainage maintenance, and landscaping adjustments.

California subsidence maps are available online and can help homeowners identify areas that are prone to subsidence. These maps can be a valuable tool for understanding the risks associated with foundation settlement and for making informed decisions about homeownership.
