I’m Not Really Sure What The Problem Is

Often a Alameda County homeowner can tell there is a structure problem.

In some instances, the evidence is actually apparent. In other cases the clues are difficult to find. These complications can show up in all kinds of different buildings, from old to new and from inexpensive houses to high-priced ones.

Be Mindful of Any of These Situations:

• Floors have become irregular, spongy or sloped
• There are puddles of water near your house after it rains
• Your basement seems damp or humid or smells musty
• Separating interior moldings, often crown or door molding
• Rain water is often in your basement
• Cracks in exterior or interior walls, bricks or mortar
• Gaps around a door, usually an exterior or garage door
• Doors or windows are sticking to their frames when you open or close them
• Vertical cracking in drywall, generally up between your door frame and the ceiling
• Separations or gaps between exterior walls or a wall and chimney
• Wide cracks in your concrete basement floor or foundation
• Spaces between your wall and floor or wall and ceiling

Are These Problems Really Hard to Correct?

Sometimes a property owner may feel their house condition is going to be nearly impossible to remedy, but, actually, almost all problems can be corrected.

That said, these types of improvements will need the work of a professional foundation repair company and crew. And they have to have the right gear and tools to change a sunken house foundation, carry out a home leveling or successfully complete another kind of substantial structure issue.

Hayward Concrete Mudjacking Services

Homeowners often notice a section of their concrete walkway, courtyard, garage floor or porch has sunken a little over the years. If this has happened at your house, they can often take care of it using a procedure called mudjacking or slab jacking.

To elevate your slab, they drive a mud-like compound beneath the section of your lowest slab. This mud swells, stiffens and pushes your concrete back up to the perfect height.

Your sidewalk, courtyard or driveway will look better once all the parts are the same height, and nobody is going to be tripping on the uneven edges any longer either.

What Leads This to Happen to Homes Around the Bay Area?

Well, it’s got something to do with science. The ground under your house incrementally changes, transforms and moves around. It may swell or shrink based upon contact with water and temperature.

This expanding and contracting of the soil applies tremendous stress on even a newer home.

Most homeowners will not suffer from significant foundation or rain water issues, but some do. There are some tasks a homeowner can do to help avoid problems.

First they can make sure the lot their house sits on is correctly graded to lead rain water away from their house. And they should make sure they’ve got gutters that take all the rain that lands on their home and move it away from their home also.

A key component that a property owner can’t change is the natural composition of the soil their home sits on. Different soils have different qualities.

Some types of soils are more moisture resistant than other types are. The more absorbent the soil, the bigger volume of water it captures and the more it can enlarge when it gets exposed to water. That isn’t very good.

Luckily, most Bay Area dirt isn’t very absorbent.

One more predictor of foundation troubles is having a substantial tree that’s way too near to your building. This might lead to problems as the roots snake underneath the home and place force on water lines and maybe your concrete slab. This doesn’t happen very often.

The forces of nature can help with the development of teeny cracking in your house’s structure. These smaller cracks will bring in moisture and humid air and possibly a small insect or two or three, and then those miniature cracks start to get larger each year.

Can’t I Just Put it Off?

If you or someone else has a feeling that you have a situation with your house, you really should have it checked out. At least then you will know whether or not your house has a real problem and if it needs to be repaired immediately or not.

The examination is not something you should put off for long.

If you learn you should get some repairs started, you should not disregard that advice.

Remember, your foundation lifts up the entire building. The walls, floors and roof rely on it. These problems should be cared for when they’re learned.

When you spot rainwater down in your basement, it indicates a problem. When water seeps into your house it can start troubles like mold and mildew. And it will only turn worse the longer it’s there.

If you are listing your house for sale, no buyer is interested in a home that has any type of foundation situation or seems to have warning signs of past water damage down in the basement.

And, if you are working to sell your house, a seller is required to disclose any known substantive problems with the property or the seller might be in trouble in the future.

In certain situations, property owners assume their problem is so bad it will turn into a sizable major project and it will cost them serious money to fix.

They sometimes end up pleased that it might be addressed successfully.

But a property owner usually doesn’t be sure until they get it inspected.
