I’m Not Sure My House Has a Problem

It can be hard for the ordinary homeowner to tell if they have a serious problem with their SoCal home or not.

Some matters are tricky to recognize and require a professional contractor to conduct an inspection and present their view.

In other instances, the problem is more apparent.

And complications might turn up at both old and new buildings.

Common Indications Your Home Has a Problem:

• Cracks in brick walls, solid surface walls or mortar
• Splits in drywall between a door frame and ceiling
• New gaps around doors and their frames, especially exterior doors and garage doors
• Sloping or uneven floors
• Separations or spaces between exterior walls or one wall and the chimney
• Separating or cracked interior molding, commonly crown or door molding
• Long cracks in a cement foundation or floor
• Water, dampness or a musty smell down under your house
• Spaces between a ceiling and a wall and ceiling and floor
• Windows or doors that shut hard or stick to their frames when you open them
• Floors are sagging, warped or a floor tile has become loose or broken
• Water collects around your home after a rain or in your crawlspace

How Can My Problem Get Fixed?

Large house structure issues are challenging to fix, but they can get done.

Homeowners often suppose their own issue is either unfixable, or it will cost a small fortune to solve, however that is not necessarily correct.

That being said, these improvements require the attention of a trained and experienced foundation repair company and staff.

Plus they have to have the correct gear and tools to adjust a sunken house structure, complete a house leveling or safely complete another type of problematic structure situation.

Crawlspace Waterproofing

If your foundation is wet from time to time, they will figure out why it’s happening and ways to stop it.

The right strategy to your wet building could require doing some waterproofing procedures in the basement, adjusting the grading and landscaping on the outside of your home, or a mix of the two.

Redondo Beach Area Slab Jacking Services

When portions of your concrete garage floor, sidewalk or courtyard has sunk, they can often have that fixed too.

The process to get it done is called slab jacking or mudjacking.

Slab jacking is a pretty neat strategy.

The job consists of forcing a dense filler substance under the section of concrete that has sunken down.

The amount of this filler under the concrete steadily squeezes the slab back up to the level it initially was at.

Concrete slab raising is a pretty inexpensive and simple technique to solve your sloping patio or walkway.

After all your concrete sections are level, you should have fewer tripping incidents and falls from having uneven adjoining sections too.

How Does This Situation Happen?

Well, it’s simply the natural science of our soil.

The soil under your house adjusts and moves. It swells and contracts depending on contact with moisture and temperature. This contraction and expansion of the soil employs considerable stress on even a good home.

Even if you can’t change the weather where you are, having your house located on a lot which has inadequate drainage or improper grading or your house doesn’t have proper rain gutters can be important variables in whether or not you develop a tough situation.

The sort of soil your house is constructed on can be a primary factor also.

Particular sorts of soil swell more than other soils when they get wet.

Right along the coast, the dirt is only considered mildly absorbent, it will not swell or contract that much. However, that changes as you move inland.

Another factor, though it isn’t as prevalent, is having a massive tree too near your house.

A substantial tree will often have long roots that reach well under your property.

These long roots can pull all the remaining moisture out of your soil during hot and dry Summers and even exert some physical strain on your home structure also.

As time goes by, a house might eventually form a little crack or two.

And a very small crack can become a larger crack.

A big crack will let in moisture and air and it only becomes worse following that.

I Would Like To Put It Off And Do It Later

If you think you could have a situation, just call and have it checked by a person who has some expertise in this area.

Even though you don’t have the job started right away, at least find somebody to look at it so that you realize what the situation is.

It’s common to hope that the obstacle simply goes away, but concrete cracks and splits will not mend themselves. They won’t improve on their own over time.

It’s always best to handle the issue now and not later.

Whenever you notice rain water down under your house, it indicates you have a problem.

If moisture seeps into your house it can cause conditions including mold.

Mold will only become worse the longer it’s there.

If you are considering selling your house within the next couple of years, just realize that no home shopper wants to put down an offer on a home that has any kind of structure concern or boasts a history of water damage in the basement.

Being a real estate seller, you need to reveal to the buyer any considerable problems with your home or you may be in civil trouble later.

Avoid getting worried too much or into assuming that your condition is too big and complicated to repair. Or that it will get too costly to fix.

A knowledgeable contractor can cure just about any difficulty you’ve got.

And your final cost may be less than what you are expecting.
