Sometimes It’s Hard to Tell If You Have a Problem

Sometimes, an Anaheim area homeowner can spot they’ve got a structure problem.

Sometimes, the proof is apparent. Other times the situation is harder to identify.

Unfortunately, these issues can appear regardless of what type of house construction you have.

Signals to Be On the Watch For:

• Significant crack in a foundation or basement floor
• Windows or doors stick to their frames when you open or close them
• Rain water gets in your crawlspace or basement
• Gaps around exterior doors or a garage door and frame
• Irregular or sloped interior floors
• Up and down splits in drywall between a door frame and the ceiling
• Noticeable separations between exterior walls or your chimney and a wall
• Collections of water close to your home after a rain
• Gaps between a wall and the ceiling
• Gaps between a wall and the floor
• Basement is damp or has a musty smell
• Cracking interior or exterior brick walls or their mortar
• Separating interior molding, usually crown or door molding
• Floors are weak, warped or sloping
• Cracking solid surface interior or exterior walls

This Situation Looks Like a Big Problem

Almost every house structure problem can get resolved.

Some of the jobs are not too difficult, some of the jobs are quite hard.

But these sorts of home improvements do take professional foundation repair contractors and qualified crews, using the best gear and tools, to perform a proper home leveling, save a sunken home foundation, or properly execute any other substantial structure project.

Crawlspace and Basement Waterproofing

If you are sick and tired with coping with a wet basement, they have a technician that can figure out what is causing rain water to leak into it.

The plan to waterproof your basement may not involve serious work to the building itself, but instead only the soil and landscaping surrounding the dwelling.

They can come up with a way to correct the situation.

Cypress Concrete Slab Lifting or Mudjacking

Another service they can do is cement slab lifting.

Some people call this technique mudjacking or slabjacking.

If you have a portion of your cement patio, driveway or walkway that has sunk down into the ground so that is no longer even with the other sections, they can raise it back up again.

This process of mudjacking is very effective, yet pretty easy to do.

They use a thick mud-like solution which they inject right below the cement slab which has sunken down.

This thick substance flows around and fills up any empty spaces and then starts to bump the slab upwards.

Once the slab has gotten to the perfect height, they quit. Quite simple really.

When done, your pathway, porch or driveway will look a whole lot better when all the segments are back to the exact same height, and nobody will be tripping on them any longer either.

How Do These Problems Occur?

These problems come about because the ground under your home and yard slowly moves.

It gradually contracts or expands as a result of moisture and temperature.

This small, but ongoing, movement might create pressure on whatever solid structure is on top of it.

Most structures can deal with a little of this activity, but too much movement, too often, may harm even a solid structure.

Okay, you can’t manage the weather or the physical makeup of the ground here around Los Angeles, but leaving your house rest on a badly graded lot can be asking for trouble.

If your lot does not lead rainwater to flow away from your home, you could have a bad situation later on.

Likewise, failing to install working rain gutters is another mistake homeowners can make.

Gutters are a essential fix that will help protect against water problems.

The qualities of the ground your house was constructed on is a big component also.

Some clay soil varieties swell more than other soils when they get exposed to water.

One additional origin of property issues is a big tree growing too close to your house.

This could lead to problems as the roots grow under the residence and apply pressure on water and sewer pipes and your slab.

The expansive roots of a hefty tree too close to your property may also take too much moisture out from the dirt beneath your building, turning it too dried out during our Summer dry season.

After a few years, you might notice little cracking around the structure of your house.

These modest cracks will allow in moisture and air, and then those smaller cracks can become just a little bigger each year.

Do I Need to Get My Home Inspected?

If you think you could have a predicament at your place, you should at least call to have it looked at.

It isn’t something you should wait on.

After you get it checked out, you’ll at least know what you are working with.

It’s normal to hope that your problem simply fades away, but basement cracks and splits won’t mend themselves.

They will not heal on their own.

It’s almost always better to address the matter now and not later.

Any time water gets into your basement, it may cause difficulties including mildew and mold.

And these issues will usually become worse each year.

And trying to sell your house without doing the needed repairs generally isn’t a wise decision either.

Few house buyers are drawn to a property that shows any signs of past water in the basement or foundation problems.

If you are planning to sell your place, it’s good to reveal to the buyer any identified significant problems with your property or you could find yourself in trouble later.

If you are finding some worrying signs or symptoms at your home, don’t be concerned that the situation is too difficult or expensive to get fixed.

Seasoned contractors can solve nearly every predicament.

Who Can Get it Fixed?

With regards to choosing the right company to get your home fixed, there are a couple good choices.

With experience and gear, they will strategize and carry out your repair and get your house back to okay condition.
