Solutions provided:

Americrawl found this customers home to be suffering from foundation failure. When foundation sinking, or foundation settlement occurs, it’s usually due to unstable soils below the foundation. A sinking foundation or settling foundation can cause unlevel floors, sagging floors, sticking doors, sticking windows, cracks in bricks, foundation cracks, wall cracks, drywall cracks, exterior cracks in bricks, gaps around windows or gaps around doors or other signs. The best way to prevent or stabilize foundation settlement is to underpin the foundation. Foundation underpinning consists of driving a pier directly below the foundation to a stable stratus in the earth. This will allow the foundation to now rest on the foundation pier, which is resting on stable stratus. Americrawl uses the DynaPier Foundation Pier System. This pier system is placed concentrically below the home’s foundation, which is considered the safest and most secure place for a pier to be placed. Many foundation contractors and basement remodelers will install piers that attach to the side of the foundation, this type of pier, in many cases, will cause the foundation to tilt over time, producing more foundation problems.
