What causes concrete to sink?
One of the biggest problems that foundations face is mother nature. Weather is such a big factor in home building, because it can’t be controlled or stopped so every precaution has to be taken for the climate that you live in. Before the foundational concrete even touches the ground site, there are steps that have to be taken to make sure that the concrete won’t just break into pieces after a few months of having it put in place. The process starts with first digging the hole where your foundation will be laid, then getting rid of any bigger rocks or other debris that could be buried underneath your home. Once those bigger things are removed from the site, then the final pounding and settling can take place with the ground that your foundation will go. Compacting and leveling the earth for your foundation is really important because if it isn’t done properly, then your foundation is at risk of crumbling to pieces before you even get to put your home on top of it, or worse, it crumbles after the construction is finished. Proper compaction also prevents a degree of swelling and sinking that the ground will do, because there will be less room for the water to sink in. This ground treatment is one way that we protect our cement from sinking into the earth. Holding your contractor accountable for a job that isn’t done properly is really important, because if you have a problem in this first stage of construction than the rest of the project is at risk.
Because moisture of all kinds will eventually pour down on the ground that your home will be placed, there are precautions that have to be taken to make sure that your homes foundation isn’t destroyed by the first thaw of spring, a downpour of rain, or a random midsummer drought. All moisture is sucked into the earth as it falls down, causing the earth to swell up with water. But, the earth can only hold so much moisture that is poured onto it, and when it has reached its limit, flooding starts to happen and a lot of problems come along with that. Flooding isn’t something that you can stop from happening, but you can protect your foundation by having it waterproofed and properly sealed to keep out any moisture that you might have. But, when the ground that your foundation was originally poured on is full of water, it could possibly sink into the soft earth. The same situation happens when the ground goes from really wet to dry very quickly. When the earth is really wet, then suddenly dry again, your foundation could possibly sink.
Problems like this happen naturally over time, but if you notice that your foundation is sinking after only a few years after the construction was concluded, then there may be something that wasn’t done properly by the team that compacted the ground for your concrete. Sometimes, mistakes are made and the compaction process doesn’t go exactly as planned which could put your homes foundation at risk.
