Pier & Beam Foundation Heaving

[Fred Robertson]

Anybody have any experience with a heaving foundation in the center of a pier and beam house?   There was a plumbing leak in the crawlspace under the house and is causing the high clay content soil to heave.....causing a 3-4 inch rise in the middle of the house flooring.   I'm wondering how long it takes for the heaving to settle back down after repairing the plumbing leaks under the house.   I cannot start any rehab repairs until I get this done and wondering if Im going to have to wait a few weeks or many months?   Anybody got any ideas on this?
