What it is: An interior or garage slab has settled or heaved out of level.
Why it matters
Movement can crack the slab, stress framing, and indicate soil or moisture problems below.
Why it's common in Bloomington
Bloomington freeze-thaw cycles and expansive soils drive slab heaving in garages and basements.

- cracked or uneven slab
- gaps at base of walls
- doors rubbing on the floor
