Causes of Slab Settlement
Slab settlement is directly connected to the water absorption of the soil underneath the foundation. While the dry soil is normally shrunk, moisturized soil tends to expand. The changes in the moisture in the soil followed by the fluctuation of the volume cause sometimes a void and sometimes upsloping on the floor. This is how uneven floor surface is formed. The moisture issue can be a result of a plumbing leak or an inefficient drainage system. Also, note that clay soils expand and shrink easily. On the other hand, sanding soil has shifting characteristics. There is a big chance that any of the two may cause a shift in the property. Bad workmanship, an improper mixture of concrete, and faulty materials can also be responsible for this kind of foundation settlement.
