[quote=Anonymous]Molding separated from floors can indicate the home has settled. Your home sits on clay soil and with the drought like conditions we've seen lately, the soil shrinks and cracks. Likewise, it will soak up water and expand when the rains return so there will be some vertical movement of the house. If it's sinking in one corner, or say, just the back half of the house, that can be a problem. A good foundation repair company like, 58 Foundations can evaluate the home for free, or you can hire a structural engineer to do the same inspection but you will have to pay for it. "a few millimeters in places" is practically nothing but if it gets worse over time, it is concerning.[/quote]
