Does My House Really Have a Problem?

Look, it can be difficult to know sometimes if you have a big issue or not.

For example, many basement cracks don’t indicate anything serious; in other cases, they could reveal something significant is wrong.

In other situations, like when you get water under your house, it’s pretty conspicuous you have a dilemma that needs addressing.

Worried The Repair Will Get Costly?

Homeowners tend to imagine their house issue is so big it will be nearly impossible to take care of, but, actually, most problems can be resolved.

These building repairs will require a well-trained, veteran foundation repair contractor and staff, working along with some fairly innovative equipment, to remedy a settling building foundation, help make a house level again or successfully carry out any other serious structural issue.

Waterproofing a Crawl Space or Basement in Denver

If you’re sick and tired of having a wet crawlspace, there is a specialist that can figure out what is causing rain water to get into it.

Your Colorado basement waterproofing plan may not even ask for any work inside the home itself, but rather focus just on the grounds and lawn around the house.

They can find a plan to fix the problem.

Concrete Mudjacking Services

Another service they get done is cement slab lifting.

Some people label this service mud jacking or slab jacking.

If you see a section of your concrete courtyard, porch or pathway that has sunk down into the soil so it is no longer even, they will boost it back up again.

Mud jacking is when they send a heavy liquid mixture below a sunk cement slab.

As soon as this liquid gathers up under the slab, it then solidifies and pushes it to rise up to the height you want it to be.

Concrete slab lifting is the favored method to resolve your sunken porch or sidewalk.

Why Do These Kinds of Issues Happen Anyway?

Well, it’s simply the way our soil acts.

The earth which lies beneath your home periodically changes, adjusts and moves. It swells and contracts according to contact with water and temperature. Illustration of a single family home sinking

This steady expansion and contraction of the ground deploys significant stress on even a solid home.

One of the factors to keeping a building structure secure is to keep water away from close by and under the building.

First, any building which sits on a suitably graded residential lot will force rainwater to move away from the house and not toward it.

A house furnished with good gutters and maybe an additional water flow solution such as a French drain system, will be in a stronger position to not get unwanted water under and around it.

One of the biggest variables which influence a home is the absorbency of the ground it sits on.

Soil that can absorb and retain a lot of moisture will often expand more than soil that doesn’t hold water well.

And, unfortunately, Colorado residents can have soil that is very absorbent and includes clay.

A different common cause of problems is having a large tree too close to your house.

This can create problems as the roots grow beneath the house and place pressure on water pipes as well as your slab.

These types of environmental stress can be a factor in the growth of petite cracks in your home’s structure.

These smaller splits will allow in moisture, humidity and even little insects, and then those tiny splits will get bigger as years go by.

Is It Okay To Not Schedule an Inspection?

If you worry you could be noticing a situation, just get it checked.

It could be the problem you’re concerned about isn’t anything major at all.

But once you have it checked, at least you will know for sure.

It’s human nature to hope that your issue somehow goes away all on its own, but a concrete crack and basement foundation fault won’t repair itself.

It won’t go away or heal all by itself.

It is always better to remedy the situation now as opposed to later.

Any time water consistently gets under a home, it could create troubles such as mustiness and mold. And these conditions will often become worse each year.

If you are focused on trying to sell your house within the next few years, just recognize that no home shopper wants to buy a house that has a serious foundation trouble or shows a history of water seepage in the basement.

In most cases, house sellers must tell a serious home buyer of any crucial defect with their home before the sales transaction is concluded, so it’s safer to get the problem fixed first.

However difficult your situation might look, nearly all scenarios can usually be repaired.

Some jobs are harder than others and some may include a complicated repair process, but they can get done.

So try not to get worried until you have your property examined.
