A horizontal crack results from foundation settlement in Castle Hayne, NC

The primary cause of foundation settlement after a home is soil changes around it. In addition to poorly compacted fill soils, extreme moisture changes, such as droughts and over saturation, can cause soil movement. As a result, your home shifts and settles, causing cracked walls, uneven floors, and sinking foundations. Helical piers were installed to permanently stabilize and lift the sunken foundation of the home.
