If the residents of the home see that they are having difficulty in properly closing of windows and doors, or if they see cracks in the foundation to a large degree, they may want to look into foundation repair as a remedy.
The resident of the home can call a foundation building contractor to come over and take a look at what is going on. The process that will remedy the situation will involve an excavation under the damaged portion of the foundation, to jack the foundation back to its former normal position.

It can be very disconcerting to have your home sinking and shifting, but this type of procedure will save the day if completed early enough in the process.
