Causes of Crawl Space Foundation Deterioration

• Compromised Soil Stability: Variability or weakness in soil conditions, such as expansive or improperly compacted soil, can jeopardize foundation stability.
• Water Intrusion: Persistent moisture or water accumulation can lead to soil erosion and induce foundational shifts or weaknesses.
