Foundation heaving
Frost heaving of foundations
In Quebec, soils are regularly subjected to significant temperature changes. Alternating periods of freezing and thawing change the density and volume of your property’s soil components. If your foundation seems to be heaving, changing slope, or undergoing lateral or vertical deformation, you could be dealing with a frost heave problem.
Possible causes
- Insufficient foundation depth
- Moist soil that sticks to footings or basement walls
- A basement too insulated from the inside
It’s essential to determine the source and cause of the deformation accurately, because if no action is taken, the foundations of your home (and even your entire property) could be seriously damaged.
