Causes of Foundation Damage in Hollywood
Expansive Clay Soils
The soil in Hollywood is predominantly clay, which expands when wet and shrinks when dry. This fluctuation can lead to uneven lifting and settling of foundations, causing significant damage over time.
Earthquake Activity
Hollywood is situated near several fault lines, making it susceptible to seismic activity. Earthquakes can shift the ground considerably, leading to foundation cracks and structural instability.
Improper Construction Practices
Given Hollywood's rapid development and renovation phases, some buildings are subjected to improper construction practices, including insufficient foundation support and inadequate soil compaction. This can lead to settling, cracking, and other forms of foundation distress.
Aging Infrastructure
Many buildings in Hollywood are historic and have foundations that were not designed to withstand current environmental stresses or have simply degraded over time due to age, exacerbating vulnerabilities to damage.
Invasive Tree Roots
The local vegetation, including large trees like palms and oaks, can have invasive root systems that grow into and under foundations, causing displacement and cracks as they search for moisture in the expansive clay soil.
Inadequate Drainage Systems
Hollywood's occasional heavy rains can overwhelm the city's aging and sometimes inadequate drainage systems, leading to water pooling around foundations. This can soften the soil and increase hydrostatic pressure, causing foundation movement and damage.
Choosing APD Foundation Repair ensures you’re partnering with a local expert well-versed in Hollywoods’ foundation challenges. Trust a professional with proven success in addressing your area’s concerns.
