Is It a Problem or Not?

In certain cases a Cuyahoga County homeowner knows they have a structure challenge.

In some cases, the proof is visible and really obvious.

In other situations, the signs are too hard to see.

But these matters can show up in plenty of various properties, from low-cost to expensive properties and from old to newer ones.

A Few Signals That Could Mean Your Home Has a Problem:

• Water in your crawlspace or basement

• Separated or cracked interior molding (usually door or crown molding)

• Spaces around exterior doors or garage doors

• Floors are irregular, bouncy or warped

• Windows or doors that stick to their frames

• Uneven or sloping floors

• Vertical cracking in the drywall between a door frame and the ceiling

• Separation between two exterior walls or one wall and chimney

• Long cracks in a cement basement floor or concrete foundation

• New spaces between a wall and ceiling or your wall and floor

• Your basement generally smells musty or seems damp and humid

• Collections of water near your home after rains

Can These Problems Be Corrected?

Yes, in some cases these issues look like they would be hard to take care of.

A homeowner might think their house situation is nearly impossible to correct, or it will cost a a tremendous amount of money to get completed.

But most issues can be resolved at a reasonable cost.

However, these sorts of property repairs do need knowledgeable foundation repair contractors and experienced crews, using the best gear and tools, to perform a proper home leveling, turn around a settling home foundation, or effectively undertake any other challenging house project.

Parma and South Cleveland Concrete Slab Lifting and Repairs

Another service they offer is mudjacking. Mudjacking is sometimes called slabjacking or mud jacking.

This is the process where your work crew will bump up parts of your concrete walkway, veranda or courtyard that may have sunk down into the dirt through the years.

Mud jacking is a method where your work crew will spray a thick substance beneath a low slab.

This mud solution is strong enough to slowly thrust the slab upwards until it gets to the required height.

Once your concrete slabs are all back at the same height, your walkway, patio or driveway will look a lot better and folks will not be tripping on the uneven edges of adjoining sections any longer.

Why Does This Problem Happen?

Well, it’s just how our soil acts.

The earth that is beneath your home changes periodically.

It adjusts and moves a little. The soil can swell or shrink according to contact with water and temperature. This sustained expansion and contraction of the soil your property sits on can put significant stress on every house, new or old.

We may be unable to control the weather or the composition of the soil here in Ohio, but there are a few aspects you can control.

To begin with, your property should be graded so that it passes rain water away from your home.

Second, you’ll need a reliable gutter system to prevent the rain which lands on your house from pooling around it.

The physical makeup of the soil and ground around and below your home is a major contributing variable also.

Some types of soil swell up more than other soils do when they get in contact with water.

A different but less significant cause of property troubles is that large tree too near to your house.

A substantial tree may cause troubles if the roots spread out below the house and put strain on the slab, or on water piping.

The roots of a big tree that is up too close to your residence can suck moisture away from the ground underneath your home, making the soil there too dry during one of our classic summer dry seasons.

These types of environmental pressure can promote modest cracks in your home’s structure.

And these little cracks let in dampness and tiny bugs, and those modest cracks could get larger every year.

Can’t I Just Put it Off?

If you have a situation with your Cuyahoga home, you should get it inspected and repaired.

It usually isn’t something you should wait on.

Don’t dismiss it.

You fully understand your basement foundation lifts up the entire building.

Your entire Your whole home, the walls, the floors and even the roofing all depend on it.

In case you have moisture getting in your basement, it might result in conditions like mildew and mold.

And these issues won’t get any better every year.

If you are thinking about listing and selling your home, simply remember, hardly any buyer wants to buy a property with a structure issue or displays indications of moisture previously in the basement.

Plus, if your home is on the market it’s your obligation to inform potential buyers about the known critical defects with your home before they buy it.

So it doesn’t make much sense to not get your issue corrected first.

You shouldn’t worry about your property’s situation before your inspection and without knowing the facts.

Most circumstances that look way too tricky to resolve in the property owner’s eyes can almost always be addressed and repaired.

The project might incorporate a complicated and often difficult combination of actions, but they can get completed.
