I’m Not Sure I Have a Real Problem

Many times homeowners have no trouble noticing they have a problem.

In some cases it is quite obvious. Other times, the indications are difficult to notice.

And in many of the examples we have seen, the conditions are somewhere in the center of the two.

The homeowner observes an unusual crack, or a wall appears somewhat bowed or a section of the floor feels to slope a little.

But there isn’t sufficient visual proof for the homeowner to reach their own verdict.

That is where the talents of a trained foundation inspector comes in handy.

Incidentally, that’s what they do.

This Looks Difficult to Correct. Is It?

Significant building foundation situations, which includes leveling a home, is a big task, but these types of assignments are conducted every day. They get completed.

Texas homeowners are sometimes astounded that someone can permanently lift up their house, yet it can be done.

You just have to find the right company to get it done for you.

That said, these types of improvements require the attention of a seasoned foundation repair contractor and crew.

Plus they need to have the right equipment to modify a sinking house structure, perform a home leveling or successfully finalize another type of challenging structure challenge.

Round Rock and Cedar Park Waterproofing Contractor

In case your crawl space is often getting wet, these waterproofing technicians will determine what is causing water to get into it.

Your waterproofing repair might not require any actual work to the structure of your home at all, but instead just on the yard and landscape grading directly around the home.

Whatever it takes, they will come up with an agenda to remedy the issue.

Georgetown and Leander Mudjacking and Slab Lifting Services

If you see a section of your concrete pavement, driveway, or garage has sunken in a little bit, they can normally bring it back to where it was meant to be.

This technique is sometimes known as either slabjacking or mud jacking.

Mudjacking or slab jacking describes the process where technicians push a heavy liquid mixture beneath the sunk slab.

Once they force this filler material under the concrete, it spreads out and fills up the spaces below it and is compacted enough to push the slab upwards to its initial height.

When it’s completed, all of your slabs will be back at the exact same height again. Concrete raising can improve the look of a sidewalk but also help reduce accidental tripping incidents.

How Come These Issues Happen?

Well, it’s just the way our soil behaves.

The soil which lies directly below your property periodically changes, shifts and moves. It stretches and shrinks according to contact with moisture and temperature. Illustration of a house settling

This continual expanding and contracting of the soil places significant force on even a well-constructed home.

Even if you cannot affect the weather conditions or the physical composition of the soil here in northern Austin, building a home that sits on a lot with subpar drainage or insufficient grading could become important elements in whether or not your property turns into a bad structure situation.

Also, simply having proper rain gutters can help keep excess water from pooling up too close to your house.

It’s an easy enough task that may have a big impact.

The natural composition of the soil underneath your home is a primary contributing variable as well.

Some kinds of soil will swell more than other types do when they get soaked.

The bad news for us, in many parts of Texas, the soil here is more absorbent than soil in most other parts of the USA. It’s just something we have to put up with.

One other less significant source of structure issues is that large tree which is too near to your house.

A substantial tree can cause problems if the roots spread below the home and put strain on the slab, or on sewer and water piping.

The roots of a large tree that is up too close to your house can also pull moisture away from the ground under your home, making the soil there too dried up during one of our classic hot, dry summer seasons.

Over time, you might see smaller cracks throughout the concrete of your home.

These smallish cracks will allow in air and moisture, and those smaller sized cracks might get just a little larger every year.

I Don’t Want to Do This Right Now

When you have a problem at your home, you should get it looked at soon and then repaired if that is what is needed.

The home inspection, at the very least, isn’t something you should postpone.

Cracking and issues with your basement are not going to magically recover over time.

It’s best to get the matter remedied as early as you can.

Your entire building resides on the foundation, it should be watched out for and maintained.

When you have rain water gradually seeping into your house, it can cause problems such as mold.

And mold will just worsen over time too.

If your home shows some visible clues that signify it has a foundation problem, the majority of property buyers will pass on it.

Potential buyers are afraid that the house might need a major repair.

And, in case you are trying to sell your home, you want to let any serious buyer understand about the large problems with your property or you might be in legal trouble in the future.

If you are having some worrying signs or symptoms at your home, don’t be concerned that the circumstance is too complex or expensive to be repaired.

Experienced contractors can solve nearly every predicament.
