  1. Photograph cracks, sticking doors and uneven floors.
  2. Note when movement started and any recent leaks or drainage changes.
  3. Keep gutters and downspouts directing water away from the foundation.
  4. Avoid DIY jacking or shoring that could worsen movement.
  5. Contact your insurer or landlord if appropriate.
