Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about foundation settling repair in Philadelphia, PA.
Foundation Settling Repair Philadelphia, PA
The Dangers of Delayed Foundation Settling Intervention
Philadelphia sits over diverse geological formations, from coastal plain sands in the south to mica schist and metamorphic rock further north, interspersed with pockets of highly plastic clay. When seasonal droughts cause expansive clay to shrink, or leaking century-old city utilities wash away sub-base fines, residential footings experience differential settlement. Postponing underpinning allows shear stresses to ripple upward through party walls and roof structures, dramatically increasing repair costs and creating life-safety hazards.
