Mississippi Bluff Foundation Movement

What causes it

Homes on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Street West bluff descent sit on river-valley soils that creep slowly downhill over decades, stressing foundations.

What we check

We document foundation plumb, stair-step cracking, sticking doors and windows, floor slope and exterior grade, distinguishing active movement from long-stable settling.

Why it matters

Active bluff movement is expensive to address and not always disclosed — buyers deserve to know before the closing date locks it in.
