Something is causing the sidewalk across my house to lift up. Anyone know what is causing this? Link to pictures. On the morning of April 18, I noticed the sidewalk lifting up. I took pictures of it. I looked to see what is underneath it, nothing but dirt. Quoting: OceanEyes Late afternoon of April 20, I noticed it's lifting more. Again I took pictures of it. The pictures didn't come out in order of the dates they were taken. Sorry. I am curious what is causing the sidewalk to shift like this? I also live right on The San Andreas Fault. If that may be any help. [link to imgur.com] Was it like that on the 17th? Is that across the street from you??

What type of soil are you on and do you know what utilities run that way? could be a water leak in dry earth could cause such an expansion, has your water pressure dropped at all? though it could also be a waste water pipe leaking or sewage pipe... are there any additional smells? |

I don't know if you're in the right geographical location but I've seen this more than once. It's a common foundation problem in Denver area.

And some are really big. And my bathroom, the walls where the bathtub is are really chipping and cracking. I have been keeping an eye on them as well. And have marked them, and if they go beyond where my marks are, and I am thinking if it continues its going to do some good damage. Sinkhole? |
