When it comes to foundations, there are two types of movement that can occur: Vertical movement (settlement) and Lateral movement. We have the experience and engineering expertise that can help you determine the direction of the movement and any necessary repairs.

If you're experiencing vertical movement or settlement, it could be due to a number of factors such as improperly compacted soils, moisture levels within your soil, undersized footings, or other structural issues. We'll take elevation readings to locate the settlement and provide a repair solution that will fix your issue while helping you avoid any unnecessary repairs.

On the other hand, if you're experiencing lateral movement, it often shows up as cracks in your foundation wall. This movement is typically caused by hydrostatic pressure being applied to the wall. Our team at Resolve Engineering can help you diagnose this lateral movement and provide a solution specific to your home.
