Causes of Uneven Floors in Slab Foundations

There are a number of factors that can cause uneven floors in slab foundations, including:

• Soil movement: Soil can shrink and expand due to changes in moisture levels. This can cause the foundation to settle unevenly, leading to uneven floors.

• Poor drainage: If water is not properly drained away from the foundation, it can pool around the foundation and cause the soil to expand. This can also lead to uneven floors.

• Plumbing leaks: Plumbing leaks can also cause the soil around the foundation to expand, leading to uneven floors.

• Tree roots: Tree roots can grow under the foundation and push it up, causing uneven floors.

• Improper construction: If the foundation was not built properly, it may not be level to begin with. This can also lead to uneven floors.
