Foundation Repair Services

Do you know the signs of foundation issues? Two common signs of a damaged foundation or foundation settlement are bowing walls, wall cracks, or uneven floors. If you notice that the walls of your basement, crawl space or home are leaning in, you may have bowed walls. Do you notice vertical, horizontal, and diagonal cracks in your walls? Are your floors uneven? Your foundation may have settled.

• Cracks in Walls or Floors: Look for hairline cracks, especially near doors and windows or where the walls meet the ceiling. Larger, zig-zagging cracks can indicate more serious issues.
• Doors and Windows that Stick or Won’t Close Properly: If doors and windows suddenly become difficult to open or close, it could be due to shifting or settling of the foundation.
• Uneven or Sloping Floors: Noticeable dips or slopes in floors can be a sign of foundation problems, indicating that part of the foundation may be settling faster than other parts.
• Gaps Between Wall Seams or Between Walls and Ceilings: Any gap where walls and ceilings meet or where walls should be joined can be a warning sign of foundation movement.
• Bowing Walls: Walls that appear to bow or bulge outwards may be under pressure from a shifting foundation.
• Cracked or Leaning Chimney: A chimney that’s cracking or seems to be leaning away from the house can indicate a foundation issue.
• Water Damage or Soil Shifting Near the Foundation: Excessive moisture or shifting soil around the home’s foundation can lead to or be a sign of foundation problems.
• Expansion Joint Separation: If the expansion joints in your concrete foundation pull apart, it might be a sign of foundation issues.
• Visible Cracks on the Exterior of the Home: Cracks in the exterior bricks, stucco, or the foundation itself are often indicators of foundation problems.
