It is normal for a home to experience some degree of settling after construction. As the weight of the structure is distributed onto the soil, it is expected that the home may sink a few inches into the ground. This settling process typically occurs over the course of one to two years as the soil reacts to seasonal changes and temperature fluctuations. However, it is important to be vigilant and monitor for any signs of foundation problems that may arise over time. While some settling is normal, if you observe any indicators of foundation issues, such as cracks, uneven floors, or other warning signs, it is crucial to address them promptly to prevent further complications. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance can help identify and address any potential problems before they worsen.

Foundation repair costs range from $2250 to $8600, with an average of $5400. However, it's important to note that home foundation repair costs vary widely based on the extent of damage and the type of repair needed.
