Foundation Repair

The foundation is deemed the essential component of your home, as it guarantees safety and stability. But sometimes, no matter how hard you try to maintain it, natural disasters occur and cause extensive damage. Natural wear and tear are also a common issue. This could be due to deprived soil compaction, plumbing seepages, and scarce foundation drainage. It is always important to be on the lookout for warning signs of trouble. Here’s to give you some idea:  

• Cracks

Noticed some line of cracks outside or inside the walls of your home? This is perhaps the most common sign of a damaged foundation. A broken chimney is an indication of a problem too.

• Inclined floors

It also refers to foundation upheaval. Besides the slab foundation’s border range, it can also affect the interior surface of your home, including doorways. It can be a result of extreme moisture or expanded soil.

• Sticking doors/windows

If you know the doors or windows were not properly installed, then spare this possibility. But if it’s in a good working condition but suddenly cause problems, this is where you should get suspicious. This might indicate that the foundation is slowly fluctuating or weakening.

• Major gaps

You’ll often notice spaces around your external doors and window frames. There might also be a gap between the ceiling and crown molding.

• Patchy or sagging floors

If you have noticed your floor seems to be bowing, dropping, or sagging, this is another indication to watch out for. Perhaps due to a beam or pier foundation impairment.

• Water drainage

Dry soil and wet soil are considered the main culprit of why poor water drainage occurs. Therefore, inspect the surroundings of your property to address the problem quickly. Though, you might usually deal with a wet basement. In any case, a contractor will check your foundation and then provide an estimate to repair the issue. Part of his job is to ensure it will be reestablished to its original level spot as close as possible. They also tend to install structural supports or what they call foundation pilings or piers.
