01Farmland turned home sites

Former farm and pasture ground can carry surprises for foundations. Old stock ponds, terraces and drainage ditches were sometimes filled and graded flat before houses went up. Fill that was not properly compacted may settle for years, and buried organic material can make it worse.

If your home is on a few acres, look at how water crosses the property in a heavy rain. A pasture that sheds water toward the house can keep one side of the slab much wetter than the others.

02Advice for Noonday homeowners

Ask previous owners or neighbors whether your lot had a pond or ditch before construction. Share that with any contractor, since it can change the recommended pier depth. Combining repair with grading and drainage is often wise on these properties.

How a repair usually goes

Inspect, plan, repair, follow up

  1. 01

    Inspect

    A local crew measures floor elevations, checks cracks, doors and drainage, and looks for the cause, not only the symptom.

  2. 02

    Plan

    You get a written scope from the contractor: repair method, pier count and placement, drainage fixes and their warranty terms.

  3. 03

    Repair

    Supports are installed or adjusted and the house is lifted back toward level as far as the framing safely allows.

  4. 04

    Follow-up

    Final elevations are recorded and drainage is checked so you can compare future readings and spot new movement early.
