Local know-how
Why foundations move in Birmingham
Birmingham sits in a valley between long ridges such as Red Mountain and Shades Mountain, so many homes are built on slopes. Rain runs toward uphill foundation walls, and the clay soil holds it there, adding pressure and softening the ground under footings.
Much of the valley floor is underlain by limestone and dolomite, and sinkholes and soil voids occur in parts of Jefferson and Shelby Counties. Combine that with expansive clay in some areas and you get settlement, cracked block walls and sloping floors.
Many older homes in Birmingham’s historic neighborhoods have crawl spaces or partial basements with block or stone walls. Local contractors handle piers, wall stabilization and crawl space supports.
