The procedure they employ to fix it is called mud jacking (some people refer to it as slab jacking).

Why Is This Happening to My Sunset Beach Home?

While you can’t see it happen, our ground moves a small amount over the years.

The ground expands and contracts.

This happens largely due to exposure to water and temperature.

And even if this activity is tiny and slow, these contractions and expansion can put pressure on whatever building is in or on top of the earth.

And over time, this repeated stress can affect the strength of even a very solid home.

Even though you cannot affect the weather conditions or the physical properties of our soil here in Southern California, building a home that sits on a lot with poor drainage or improper grading could become leading factors in whether or not your house develops a bad situation.

Also, just having proper rain gutters can help keep unwanted water from building up around your home.

It is a pretty simple step that will have a large impact.

The natural composition of the ground your house was built on can be a primary point as well.

Some kinds of soil will swell or contract more than other soils when subjected to moisture.

An additional origin of structure issues is having a giant tree too close to your home.

This tree can create problems if those roots spread out under the residence and put demands on your structure, or interfere with water pipes.

The roots from a giant tree that is right next to your home can draw considerable amounts of moisture out of the dirt below your home, turning the soil too dry during our Summertime dry season.

Environment and repeated forces may cause very small cracks in your house’s basement.

These minor cracks invite in moisture and air, and some of those tiny cracks grow into big cracks, and some of these big cracks become major problem splits.

Is It Okay To Wait on an Inspection?

When you have an issue with your house, you should get it inspected quickly and then repaired if that is what is necessary.

The inspection, at the very least, isn’t something you should put off.

Cement problems won’t get better over time.

They usually become worse.

You may be in a position to delay having the repair work started, but it might be to your advantage to deal with it head-on soon.

Whenever moisture works its way under a house, it might lead to predicaments over the years as mildew and mold.

These issues will not become any better over time.

If you’re thinking about not actually repairing your house and then just selling it fast, property buyers normally do not want to place a bid on a property which displays any evidence of water in the basement or any kind of foundation worries.

As a real estate seller, it is important to reveal to the purchaser all major issues with your property or you may be in trouble later on.

So you shouldn’t just try to ignore your structure problem and leave it for the next owner.

If you’re noticing some worrying problems at your home, you shouldn’t be fearful that the circumstance is too complicated or expensive to be fixed.
