A settling or shifting foundation can be caused in multiple ways. Your home may be still on original timber stumps that will rot and cause your house to move. If soil is not well-compacted when a home is built, it will easily experience settling. Sometimes, foundation settlement and shifting are natural. Over time, the soils beneath a home compact and expand with changes in temperature and saturation. The more this happens, the weaker soils become.
