Call your insurance company and have them recommend a home inspection company....

Well I don't live on a hill, and I talked to Ins. company they told to talk to a inspector. But I have no idea which kind of inspector to talk to, so help here would be nice. Anyone have an idea who to call???

Try the city, and then the county of orange. Any of your neighbors experiencing the same thing or is it isolated on youor property?

Expansive soil? raised foundation? when was it built? Would not happen on a modern slab. ( post tension)

In South OC you want to call these guys. Frank Ultimo has been doing this stuff for years. www.geotechnical.com

Probably expansive soil. Soils with a lot of clays will really have that effect. I would call a few soils engineering companies, till you found one familiar with your area. They might now right away if your area is known for it.
