Poor Drainage
Poor drainage is one of the number one problems attributing to foundation settlement. After a rain, if there is standing water puddled up around the perimeter and footing of your house this could definitely create a problem. As the water sits there and absorbs into the soil beneath it, the soil becomes moist and gives way to the weight of the foundation of your house. As it gives way, the foundation could actually sink... perhaps just by fractions of an inch, but it sinks nonetheless. If the poor drainage issue is not fixed, after recurring rainfall over the process of months and years those "fractions of an inch" will add up and you might see significant foundation settlement as a result.
