New home's that require foundation repairs are usually the fault of home builders that failed to properly backfill the soil around your home's foundation or failed to correctly waterproof your basement's foundation. Over time this waterproofing layer and the integrity of your basement's foundation will also naturally deteriorate. This deterioration is increased when new home foundations experience dramatic shifting or settling immediately after construction, or are provided with a limited layer/quality of waterproofing to seal out moisture from the basement. These few foundation issues are among many, and we would be happy to answer any structural questions you may have in more detail.
