foundation settling

[Sean]

We had a really dry summer here in Iowa. We moved to this home in May ’03 and by June-July, noticed cracks around two different doorways inside, and our doors not shutting all the way. Our home is brick, and we also have some fairly wide cracks in the brick on the outside. Is the ground settling? Is there anything we should do to prevent further settling if that is the problem?

This happened to us and I looked in the yellow pages under “footings” and “foundations” and called a few companies. They came out to look and said that they could stop the damage from getting worse by lifting the home and supporting it. Give one of this type of company a call.
