    What does major settling & cracking of a concrete driveway indicate?
    The cement, that is right next to the house, that is basically the entire main driveway, has settled approximately 2 inches within the last month. What does that indicate? I am concerned that I may have a water drainage problem. My water meters do not indicate a leak... not sure what I should do next to figure out what is causing the settleing & cracking of the cement. Please advise. Thanks.
