What if I’m Not Sure There is a Problem?

In certain cases, it’s evident to any homeowner they are facing a structure problem.

In some situations, the clue is really visible and easy to see; Other times the property owner is not really confident they have a problem.

These kind of troubles may show up in all types of construction, from old to newer houses.

Here Are Some Conditions to Look Out for:

• Water pools close to your home after a rain or you have a soggy crawlspace

• Windows or doors stick to their frames when you try to open or close them

• There is rain water in your basement

• Gaps between doors and their frames, especially external doors and garage doors

• Cracks in exterior or interior brick walls or mortar

• Up and down cracks in sheet rock, primarily between a door frame and the ceiling

• Any cracking in solid surface exterior or interior walls

• Cracked or separated interior molding, sometimes crown or door moldings

• Significant cracks in a concrete basement floor or foundation

• Damp, unpleasant or musty-smelling basement

• Floors are saggy, spongy or sloping, or tile floor sections have become loose

• Gaps between walls and ceiling or wall and floor

• Separation between meeting exterior walls or wall and chimney

Can This Problem Be Corrected?

In some instances a homeowner will believe their house problem will be nearly impossible to correct, but, in reality, most issues can be repaired.

But these kinds of home repairs take a trained foundation repair contractor and work crew, working with special tools, to help repair a sunken house foundation, undertake a home leveling or make good other challenging structure trouble.

Florissant Crawlspace and Basement Waterproofing

If your basement gets wet, they will determine why it’s happening and ways to stop it.

In order to get your basement dry, they may concentrate on the interior of your basement or they may be capable of getting the job accomplished by just focusing on the outside.

They might be able to stop water from coming into your home by means of correcting the grading of your lot, installing rain gutters, a french drain or other strategy.

They may not need to get access to the basement walls whatsoever.

Florissant and North St. Louis Concrete Slab Lifting

If a part of your concrete pavement, courtyard or patio has sunk below where it was meant to be, they will get that adjusted.

The procedure used is referred to as slab jacking.

(Contractors call it mud jacking because they like to think of wet cement as mud.)

The process of slab jacking is straightforward but practical.

A thick liquid compound is forced right beneath the slab that has sunk.

The material spreads out to fill up any empty cavity and then starts to force up the slab.

When the section has reached the best height, the job is over.

Slab lifting improves the appearance of low walkway sections by getting them all level again. This also helps prevent trips and falls.

How Do Foundation Problems Develop?

Well, it’s just the nature of our soil our homes are built on.

The dirt beneath and close to your home periodically changes, moves a little and adjusts.

It may swell or settle depending on exposure to rain water and changes in temperature.

This prolonged expansion, pulling and motion (no matter how modest) of the ground can place a stress on a building or other solid structure.

While you can’t change the laws of science, or the weather elements in your town, having your house located on a residential lot which has poor drainage or less than ideal grading, or your house doesn’t have effective rain gutters can be important variables in whether or not your house gets into a tough circumstance.

The composition of the dirt your home was constructed on is a major factor as well.

Some kinds of soil swell more than others do when it gets exposed to water.

Thankfully, in most of Missouri, the dirt isn’t as absorbent as some soil is in other parts of the country. That’s good.

An additional predictor of structure challenges is having a large tree that’s too near to your residence.

This might create problems if the roots grow under the building and put pressure on sewer and water pipes and maybe even your concrete slab.

Through the years, you can notice small cracking throughout the structure of your property.

These tiny cracks let in moisture and humid air, and then those small cracks can become a little bigger every year.

Is It Okay To Not Do an Inspection?

If you feel you may have troubles at your house, you really should have it looked over.

It could be that what you’re worried about isn’t actually anything important.

But if you get it looked at, at least you’ll know for certain.

You shouldn’t only neglect the issue and hope that it fades away.

It won’t just go away.

Foundation crack repair is something you should handle soon.

Don’t forget, your foundation physically is supporting your complete home.

The walls and floors all count on it.

If you don’t take care of it you may end up in a more serious dilemma later.

When your basement is allowing outside moisture seep into it, the ensuing conditions may range from a damp smell to mold growth.

Plus, each season the situation will often grow more serious.

In case you believe you can simply put up your home on the market without solving the problem, that may not work.

Signals of structural faults or wet basements will almost certainly scare away almost every buyer aside from the most experienced house flipper.

In most cases, house sellers must tell a serious home buyer about any key defect with their home before the sales transaction is completed, so it is better to get the problem fixed first.

It can be a bit distressing.

But they can develop a strategy to correct the situation.

Try not to worry too much.

Issues which look to the property owner to be too tough to fix can typically end up being corrected.

Naturally, it might take a involved and sometimes difficult process, nonetheless it can be done.
