Foundation Repair

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.
