The house I currently live in and hope to sell some day to move to TV has an issue that perhaps a retired engineer or somebody who has had the same issue can help me with. During the hot summer months, the house must shift as I begin to have problems with doors sticking or not closing properly. Around November each year, things slowly return to normal. I had one of the home stabilization companies come by and look at it and they said not to worry about it too much, that there is no cracks etc on the outside of the house. He said the problem is that the water table below the house goes down in the summer and then raises back up in the fall which causes the house to shift a little. He suggested a couple minor things to do to try to keep as much water in the soil as possible but they didn't seem to help much. Anybody have any words of wisdom on this ? Would hiring one of these companies to do the stabilization help without costing me an arm and a leg ?
