I think Texas probably ranks up there because of wind and hail .. and really bad soils that wreck foundations..

Lack of gutters on the home and insufficient foundation support led to a new support beam needed underneath the house which will cost $15,000.

Maybe they had to cut through clay soil versus loam, or tunnel under a driveway???

PS the foundation issues are caused by Yazoo clay.. in the newer homes the builder dig out a few feet and then rock up before foundation.. the old homes are just  laying on the existing soil ..

The soil or the hard surfaces should slope away from the building to a distance of at least six feet, to keep moisture away from the footings.

Vinyl is pretty stable but the wood underneath isn't - especially if your climate changes often and drastically, or moves a lot.

@Dina SchmidFoundation issues on a newer house could indicate an underlying soil issue.

@Rajagopalarao Paidi  some areas of the country it is perfectly normal for foundation issues given the soil types and building techniques of the time.

The front wall may be the source of your leak, With the water running back underneath the roof inside the rafters And making spots on the ceiling further away from the wall.

I know this can very widely and depending on soil type, etc. there can be a lot of changes.
