It already knows your trade

Not a generic script with your name dropped in. It speaks the language.

settlement

The house moving down as soil compresses. Uniform settlement is usually fine; differential settlement is the problem.

heave

Soil swelling and pushing up. The opposite of settlement and a different fix.

helical vs push pier

Two ways of transferring load to stable soil. Helical screws in; push piers are driven using the house's weight.

underpinning

Extending the foundation down to competent soil.

bowing wall

A basement wall pushed inward by soil pressure. Measured in inches of deflection — that number decides the fix.

carbon fibre straps

Reinforcement for a bowing wall that isn't too far gone. Cheaper than anchors.

hydrostatic pressure

Water in the soil pushing on walls. The cause behind most bowing and seepage.

encapsulation

Sealing a crawlspace with a vapour barrier to control moisture.
