Symptoms of Foundation Issues: Wall Cracks
Wall cracks are very common and clear signs of foundation problems in the house. Foundation issues occur when the soil changes its volume based on moisture exposure they get. The more water there is, the more the soil expands, and the more dried the soil is, the more it shrinks and compacts because of the house weight.
