What kind of homes and basements does Albuquerque have?

What causes basement and foundation problems in Albuquerque?
Collapsible soil settlement
Some soils settle when wetted by leaks, irrigation or storms.
Monsoon runoff
Intense summer storms push water against foundations.
Adobe moisture damage
Water at the base of adobe walls erodes them; drainage away from the wall is critical.
Arroyo flooding
Homes near arroyos can see fast-moving water during monsoon storms. Keeping drainage channels clear and grading water away from foundations reduces flood damage.

Yes, through the Construction Industries Division of the Regulation and Licensing Department.
Why did my Albuquerque home settle after a leak?
Some local soils collapse when they become wet. Fixing the water source first, then assessing the foundation, is the usual order.
Do Albuquerque homes have basements?
Basements are uncommon, especially in newer areas, but some older Nob Hill and North Valley homes have them. These can take water during monsoon storms if grading and drains are poor.
