If you have lived in Birmingham, Alabama for even a short time, you know how the weather can go to extremes throughout the year. We experience rainy springs and dry summers and the clay soil that our houses sit on is constantly shrinking and expanding. This fluctuation of the soil can do a lot of damage to your home's foundation. It is important that you know what causes foundation failure, so that you can protect your home and family. It doesn't matter if your Alabama home is new construction or a classic, foundation issues can arise at any time. Here are some things to keep an eye out for:
