Signs Of Foundation Problems
Having problems with your home's foundation can be an incredibly difficult and costly issue to address, especially if not caught quickly or left unresolved. It is essential that homeowners are proactive in monitoring their foundation for any cracks, shifting, settling, or other red flags of structural damage.
Early prevention such as waterproofing and utilizing proper drainage systems are recommended to help mitigate the risk of future issues with your foundation. Taking necessary steps to ensure the stability of your home's foundation is vitally important in protecting both the functionality and value of your property.
Floor Cracks
When the soil below concrete floors cannot support the load/weight, it leads to cracking.
Wall Cracks
Unlike some symptoms, wall cracks can be an obvious sign that the structural integrity of your home is diminished.
Uneven Floors
Uneven floors can be an indicator of more serious problems. Some causes are: foundation problems sagging or growing joists (could be damages, infested with termites)
Sticking Windows & Doors
When walls and floors begin to shift, it can often be hard to notice. One clear sign that something is wrong with your home’s foundation is doors and windows not opening or closing freely.
Sinking Settlement
Soil beneath your home will consolidate, or sometimes even washout. When this happens, the result is sinking/settling, which in turn can lead to other signs, such as cracks.
Bowing Walls
One of the most severe problems associated with foundation issues is bowing walls. This symptom gets worse with time so it is important to address it with a professional when noticed.
Causes of Foundation Problems
Cracks in the foundation can occur for many reasons such as house settling or simply wear and tear over time. In our local area, there is an abundant amount of clay soil, which can cause foundatiotion issues to be a more prevalent issue.
