A home inspection firm covering residential inspections for buyers, sellers and homeowners in the St. George area.
Background
Foundation findings in this valley are usually a soils story, and the two local problem soils leave different signatures. Expansive clay swells and shrinks with moisture, so its movement is seasonal and often reversible, and it tends to show as doors that bind at one time of year and not another. Collapsible soil settles once and does not come back, so its evidence is a permanent differential crack that grows in one direction. Distinguishing the two changes the remedy entirely, which is why the pattern and history of a crack matter more in a report than its width.

Frequently asked questions
Do foundation cracks mean the same thing everywhere?
No. Expansive clay moves seasonally with moisture and can produce problems that come and go, while collapsible soil settles once and permanently. The pattern and history of a crack therefore say more about the cause, and the remedy, than its width does.
