If the basement walls/floors have not been properly waterproofed, this could also lead to a settling foundation. This problem will cause you more than a few headaches. Fortunately, the folks at Atlas Piers are able to efficiently fix your settling foundations.

When you have a settling foundation, your home may seem to lean to one side. There may also be cracks in your basement slabs or on sheet rock walls in your home. You may also experience sloped or uneven floors and water pooling around the foundation of your home. All of these things are symptoms of a house that has  foundation problems such as a settling foundation. If you live in an especially wet area or an area that receives lots of rainfall, your home may be more prone to a settling foundation. The excess water can cause the soil around your home to double in weight. This results in hydrostatic pressure that pushes against your foundation, causing it to sink from lack of proper support.
