Have a consult with a soils expert and structural engineer. And get rid of the burrowing rodents. Normally I am not a fan of killing things unnecessarily, but if, they are in fact, contributing to the stability of the structure, then you have no other choice. Call an exterminator.Helpful Reply -

I agree with Naomie. You have a soil problem That caused the structural problem. You need Pros out there to assess the cause and situation.Helpful Reply -

My brother has a house a couple blocks away and has noticed nail pops recently (he hasn't looked at the foundation). I asked my neighbors to look around their house and noticed foundation cracks and nail pops as well.Helpful Reply -
