How Do I Know if My House Has a Problem?

Normally it is obvious when you have a concern.

Sometimes, the indicators are not very easy to notice.

And these complications can occur with any style of house, from a new home to an older one.

Structure Issue Signs To Think About

• Rain water in your crawlspace or basement
• Separated or cracked interior molding (usually crown or door molding)
• Spaces around exterior doors or garage doors
• Floors are irregular, bouncy or warped
• Windows or doors that stick to their frames
• Cracks in any solid surface wall, brick wall or mortar
• Pitched or sloping floors
• Vertical cracking in the drywall between a door frame and the ceiling
• Separations between two exterior walls or one wall and chimney
• Big cracks in a cement basement floor or concrete foundation
• New spaces between a wall and ceiling or wall and floor
• Your basement consistently smells musty or is damp
• Pooling of water around your home after rains

My Problem Looks Serious – Can it Be Corrected?

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

Property owners often imagine their problem is either not fixable, or it costs lots of money to repair, but that isn’t necessarily the case.

Certainly, these types of building repairs require a trained foundation repair contractor and team, making use of the right gear and tools, to fix a settling home foundation, start a building leveling or another significant structure issue.

Basement Waterproofing Services

If your basement keeps getting wet once in a while, they can establish the reasons why it is happening and the way to stop it.

They might find a waterproofing solution that will deal with your moisture issue without having to actually work inside the basement at all.

It’s possible they can eliminate the situation by doing work outside your house on the rain gutters, grounds and landscape areas surrounding your house.

Culver City and Palms Concrete Slab Lifting Repair

Homeowners often notice a section of their concrete sidewalk, patio, garage floor or driveway has sunken a bit over the years.

If this has occurred at your home, they can often take care of it using a procedure called mudjacking or slabjacking.

Mud jacking is where they vigorously inject a heavy liquid material under the sunk concrete slab.

Once this substance accumulates below the slab, it drives the slab to raise up to the height you want it to be.

When your cement slabs are all at the same height, your sidewalk, patio or driveway will look better and people will not be tripping on the uneven joints of adjoining segments any longer.

Why Is This Problem Happening to Me?

Well, it’s simply the natural properties of soil.

The soil under your home sometimes adjusts, shifts and moves. You never see it happen, but it happens.

The dirt contracts and expands determined by exposure to water and variations in temperature.

This irregular expanding and contraction of the ground can position pressure on just about any structure, even a solid home.

Even if you can’t control the laws of science, or the weather elements where you live, having your home built on a residential lot that has improper drainage or subpar grading, or your house doesn’t have effective rain gutters can be sizable reasons in whether or not your house gets into a difficult condition.

One significant element in evaluating likely structure difficulties is the natural composition of the ground the house sits on.

Certain kinds of soil trap more moisture than other kinds of soil do.

Some clay soils are too absorbent. They expand and contract too much and create problems.

Another risk factor for structure issues that homeowners neglect is having a big tree way too near your residence.

There is a chance of a problem if the roots of a tree grow under the home and put tension against your structure, water and sewer lines.

In a few circumstances, the long roots of a massive tree that is too close to a house may also pull moisture out of the ground below the building, which makes it too dry during our hot, dry Summer weeks.

All these sorts of environment strain could add to the development of smaller cracking in the base of your property.

Little cracking can bring in dampness and have a way of progressing into bigger cracks over time.

Can’t I Just Do This Another Time?

If you are worried you could have a predicament at your house, you should at least call to have it inspected.

It isn’t something you should put off for long.

After you get it checked out, you can expect to at least determine what you are dealing with.

Cracking and other disorders of your structure will not improve over time.

It’s usually advisable to get the problem fixed as soon as you can.

Your whole house sits on its foundation, it deserves to be cared for.

If you have water periodically leaking into your basement, it can cause headaches like mold.

And mold will only get worse over time too.

And if you’re considering selling your home, remember that nobody wants to buy a house which has any kind of structural problem or has telltale indications of moisture seepage in the basement.

Plus, it’s the seller’s responsibility to inform a buyer about any significant house issues.

You won’t want to have to say that you know there is a bad situation, but you didn’t get it corrected.

It’s common to get worried about the condition of your house.

But many circumstances that seem to be too hard to fix can typically wind up getting fixed by the right local contractor and work crew.

The repairs may involve a tricky and sometimes complicated set of actions, but the work can get completed.

So try not to be too concerned before you have all the information and facts.
