Subsidence
Subsidence is commonly noticed in floors of the property “Sinking” lower then level it is was originally built. While there are many reasons for this happening, the usual cause is poor contractor workmanship and the use of improper building material.
Ground Heave

Erosion
Erosion is the act of wear and tear due to environmental factors such as wind and water throughout time. All buildings erode with time but vary in rate of erosion based on the level of exposure to the forces of nature.
Settling or cracking
With time, property foundations could settle and sink causing “stress” on the building. The “stress” could be so high that walls and ceilings start to crack. Such settling is a result of bad engineering or poor contracting at the foundation stage.
Cracks could also be a result of the use of improper material and poor craftsmanship
