In addition to these obvious indicators, poor drainage and/or improper maintenance could be leading to foundation movement.
Because the clay soil in this part of Texas is expansive, regular routine maintenance is very important. Ask Fox for their maintenance report tips that will assist in keeping the foundation in good condition.
