How Do I Know For Sure I Have a Problem?

Often a Baldwin Park homeowner has no trouble noticing they have a structure problem. In many cases, the evidence is quite conspicuous.

In other situations, the property owner does not have a clue they have any problem. The signs are often too subtle.

And newer houses are not protected from these issues either.

They can appear no matter what kind of construction you have or however old your property is.

Example of a property with a lot of maintenance needs

Commonplace Problem Indications:

• Floors have become uneven, bouncy or pitched
• There are puddles of water near your house after it rains
• Your basement is humid or damp or smells musty
• Separating interior moldings, often crown or door molding
• Water is often in your basement
• Cracks in interior or exterior walls, brick or mortar
• Gaps around a doorway, often an exterior or garage door
• Windows or doors are sticking to their frames when you open or close them
• Vertical cracks in drywall, often up between your door frame and the ceiling
• Separations between exterior walls or walls and chimney
• Significant cracks in your cement basement floor or foundation
• Spaces between a wall and floor or your wall and ceiling

Is My House Problem Going To Be Hard to Fix?

Sure, often these issues appear as if they will be very difficult to take care of.

A greater Pasadena homeowner may believe their house issue is near impossible to repair, or cost a lot of money to get completed.

But many cases can get fixed at a reasonable cost.

But these kinds of house improvements do take experienced foundation repair contractors and qualified crews, working with the right equipment, to perform a good home leveling, turn around a sinking home structure, or effectively complete any other substantial structure assignment.

Crawlspace Waterproofing

If you’ve got a wet basement, an evaluation should determine what is allowing water to drip into it.

It’s possible they might know how to correct the condition without needing access to the basement walls .

Baldwin Park Area Slab Jacking Services

An additional service they provide is mudjacking. Mudjacking is sometimes called slabjacking or mud jacking.

This is how they will raise up parts of your concrete sidewalk, patio or courtyard that may have sunk down into the dirt through the years.

Slab jacking describes the method where you forcefully push a thick mixture beneath the troublesome sunken slab.

This material collects below the slab and ultimately shoves the slab upwards to its desired height. Pretty cool.

Once your concrete slabs are all at the same height, your pathway, porch or driveway will look better and people won’t be tripping on the unequal joints any more.

How Do These Situations Happen?

Well, one of the biggest causes is due to the behavior of the soil.

The earth that lies under our houses shifts often. It shifts.

The ground will contract and expand as it gets subjected to water and changes in temperature. A house settles over time

This frequent expanding and contraction of the soil our houses sit on can lay big stress on all kinds of properties.

While you can’t influence the elements or the physical makeup of our soil, there are steps you can take.

Two helpful steps to take include making sure the lot where your home is located is properly graded and has an appropriate drainage plan and you have installed a decent gutter system to escort rain water away from your home.

The brand of soil your home was built on is a crucial variable as well.

Some types of soil (usually clay soils) swell or contract more than other soils when they get moist.

These types of clay soils exist in several California areas.

One rather uncommon source of foundation issues takes place when you have a really big tree close to the house.

This tree can make a dilemma if it’s roots stretch under the house and affect your slab or water and sewer lines.

The roots from a major tree too close to your home may also pull all the moisture out from the dirt underneath the house.

Obviously, this could only take place in the middle of a dry and hot summer.

As the years pass, environmental forces acting on your building’s basement can lead to a few modest cracks.

Sometimes small cracks stay small; but sometimes they grow large. And big splits welcome in moisture and tiny insects.

And moisture in your basement is not a good thing.

I Would Like To Put It Off And Do It Later

If you have issues at your house, you probably should get it checked and repaired if necessary.

It’s not really something you should wait on.

You shouldn’t ignore it and merely hope that it goes away someday. You know it won’t.

A foundation crack repair should really be taken care of sooner rather than later.

You know your basement structure physically assists the entire structure. The walls, floors and roof rely on it.

If you don’t take care of it you will only make it worse and wind up in a more difficult situation later.

If rainwater repeatedly leaks into a basement it may cause concerns including mildew and mold.

Mold can be really serious. And it may grow worse over time.

So if you’re planning to list and sell your home, just remember that no one wants to invest in a home which has a structure issue or displays obvious indications of moisture seepage.

And also, it is your responsibility to tell serious home buyers of any important disorders with your house before they buy it.

So it doesn’t make any sense to not get the problem fixed first.

However difficult your property may look, nearly all situations can be addressed.

Some jobs are harder than other ones and some can involve a complex process, but they can get done.

So try to not get worried until you have your house looked over.
