Your Sinking Foundation
Sinking foundations can be dangerous and lead to an unsafe environment. Slabs on grade will settle at the building's perimeter if the slab is supported on the footing toe and the footing is moving vertically due to differential settlement.
Problems with your Foundation Stem Wall
If you start noticing uneven floors, cracks in the drywall or masonry, or doors and windows sticking to the frames, your concrete foundation may be experiencing differential settlement. These problems can be caused by several factors, but some of the most common include:

Soil desiccation due to drying of cohesive soils
Soil erosion resulting from improper grading adjacent to the building
Roof drain downspouts that are not properly drained to the storm sewer or at a sufficient distance from the building to prevent soil erosion
