At first, it might seem harmless: your door sticks when you try to close it, or small cracks appear around a window frame. But for many homeowners in the Pacific Northwest, these are early warning signs of foundation settlement. Left untreated, settlement can worsen over time, leading to structural problems that put your home’s safety and value at risk.

The Warning Signs of Foundation Settlement:

• Doors and windows that stick or won’t close properly
• Cracks forming around door and window frames
• Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors
• Uneven floors that feel like they’re sloping

If you notice these issues in your home, it’s important to get them evaluated before they escalate into major repairs.

How Foundation Settlement Affects Your Home:

Foundation settlement happens when the soil beneath your home shifts, dries, or compresses, common in areas with fluctuating moisture and clay-heavy soils. As the soil moves, your foundation sinks or shifts unevenly, causing visible damage like cracks, misaligned doors, and gaps in trim or siding.
