How Do I Know if My Home Has a Problem?

Quite often a San Fernando Valley homeowner can tell they have a structure problem. In some circumstances, the evidence is actually noticeable. But sometimes the clues are hard to find.

These complications can show up in all sorts of different buildings, from new to old and from inexpensive houses to high-priced ones.

• Separated or cracking interior molding, mainly crown molding or door molding
• Crevices in interior or exterior brick walls or mortar
• Cracking in solid surface exterior or interior walls
• Vertical cracks in sheet rock, generally seen between the door frame and ceiling
• Big cracks in a concrete basement floor or foundation
• Spaces between a wall and ceiling or a wall and floor
• Gaps or any separation between exterior walls or a wall and chimney
• A damp crawlspace or visible pooling of water near your house after a rain
• Your basement feels damp or humid and has a musty smell
• Floors are sagging, weak, look warped or irregular, or floor tiles have become loose or broke

Is My Problem Going To Be Really Hard To Correct?

Crawlspace Waterproofing Service

If you have a wet basement, these specialists can find out what is allowing water to trickle into it.

It is possible they may manage to cure the situation without needing to have access to the basement walls at all.

Reseda Slab Jacking Services

If part of the cement front walk, terrace or driveway is sunken below where it first was, they could generally correct that too.

The procedure used is referred to as mudjacking (also sometimes known as slabjacking).

Mudjacking is a method that includes injecting a thick filler material beneath a low slab. mixture oozes into all the space under the cement section and then solidifies and drives the slab to lift up.

Once all your sidewalk, courtyard and driveway slabs are all the same level again, it’s going to look better. And no one should be tripping and stumbling on them any more either.

Why Do These Situations Come About?

Well, it’s basically science.

The ground right below your house incrementally changes, shifts and moves around. It may swell and shrink according to contact with moisture and heat or cold.

This expansion and contraction of the ground places great stress on even a strong, well-built property.

One of the secrets to keeping a building structure solid is to keep rain water away from nearby and under the property. First, a building that rests on a correctly graded residential lot will force rainwater to roll away from the home instead of toward it.

A home equipped with good rain gutters and possibly another water flow technique such as a French drain system, will be in a better position to not get surplus water under and around it.

The makeup of the ground your home was constructed on is a big matter as well. Some types of California soils swell more than others when they get moist.

One relatively uncommon cause for structure complications takes place when you have a really large tree too close to your home. This tree may cause an issue if it’s roots stretch out under the house and affect your slab or water and sewer pipes.

The roots from a major tree too near your house may also pull all the moisture out from the soil under the house. Naturally, this could only come up in the middle of a hot Summer.

The natural physical forces of nature can create the introduction of tiny cracks in your house’s basement. These microscopic cracks will bring in moisture and humid air and maybe a small insect or two or three, and then those teeny cracks can get larger every year.

The Best Advice is Don’t Wait Too Long

If you or someone else has a sense that you could be facing a problem with your house, make an appointment to have it checked out. Then you will know whether or not your house has a problem and if it needs to be fixed immediately or not.

The inspection is not something you should put off.

As much as they can wish that these challenges would simply go away, they normally will not. Troubles such as basement foundation crack repair ought to be addressed soon rather than later.

The base of your property literally supports the full remainder of your house, from walls to roof. So, it’s best to target these issues instead of ignoring them.

If there is rain water getting in your basement, it might result in conditions like mold and humidity. And these conditions won’t improve over time.

If you’re considering not repairing your house and just selling it soon, home purchasers typically don’t want to make an offer on a property that reveals any indication of rain water in the basement or any type of foundation challenge.

Plus, it is your duty to tell serious house buyers of the substantial defects with your home before they purchase it. So it does not make sense to not fix the problem first.

Try not to worry, plenty of circumstances that a homeowner may believe to be too difficult to fix can typically get resolved. The repairs might call for a tricky and sometimes challenging set of steps, but it can get completed. They can get it done.
