Talladega, Alabama
It is not unusual for home and business owners in Talladega County, AL to experience structural failure related to a foundation problem. This is largely due to the clay soils in the area. These clay soils are expansive – they expand when they absorb water and shrink when they lose water. This ground movement can cause Talladega County foundations to shift, settle, heave, and crack.

Foundation settlement and shifting usually causes structural problems in your home, such as foundation cracks, bowing or leaning walls, sloped floors, wall cracks, sticking windows or doors, or cracks in the floor or ceiling.
