Does Your House Have a Problem?

It can be challenging for the ordinary homeowner to know if they have a big problem with their Michigan home or not.

Some concerns are hard to detect and will need an experienced contractor to conduct an inspection and present their view.

Other times, the issue is a lot more apparent.

And issues can turn up at both new and old houses.

Be Mindful of the Below Conditions:

• There are spaces around doors and their frames, often an exterior or garage door

• You have rain water in your basement

• There is a gap between a wall and your floor or a wall and ceiling

• Doors or windows are sticking to their frames when you try to open or close them

• It feels like a floor is sagging or bouncy or some tiles are loose

• You notice separating wood molding strips, often door or crown molding

• You see a crack in a solid surface exterior wall

• You have rain water sitting next to your home or in your crawlspace after a rain

• You notice cracking in exterior or interior brick and mortar walls

• There’s an uneven or sloped interior floor

• Your sheet rock has a vertical crack, maybe between the ceiling and a door frame

• You can see big cracks in your basement floor or concrete blocks

• There is a separation between joining exterior walls or wall and chimney

Can This Issue Be Fixed?

Serious structural problems are hard to repair, but they can get done.

Property owners sometimes suppose their problem is too difficult to correct, or it will cost a lot of money to repair, but that is not necessarily accurate.

A difficult foundation repair job will require an expert contractor, in command of a good work crew and utilizing the appropriate gear and tools in order to get the job done.

Doing work under a building, raising it up and making it level without interrupting the structural integrity of a house is not for an inexperienced company.

Pontiac or Waterford Township Basement Waterproofing Company

If you get a wet basement, why not let one of these inspectors investigate it and find out what is letting water to leak into it.

They might create a waterproofing solution that will solve your moisture issue without needing to physically work inside the basement at all.

Maybe they can correct the problem just by doing work outside your building on the rain gutters, soil grading and landscaping close to your residence.

Pontiac and Troy Concrete Slab Lifting Repair

Homeowners often notice a section of their concrete walkway, courtyard, garage floor or driveway has sunken a bit over the years.

If this has happened at your place, they can often correct it using a technique called mud jacking or slab jacking.

Slab jacking is a pretty neat procedure.

It requires pumping a thick mud-like material underneath the bad part of concrete which has sunk down.

The amount of this thick liquid under the concrete slowly presses the slab up to the height it initially was at.

Sometimes homeowners would like slab jacking done just in an attempt to enhance the appearance of their house or property, but cement slab lifting can cut down on accidents and trips from having uneven segments and it may cut down on other issues, such as poor drainage, as well.

Nearly all of these jobs are finished in one morning or day.

What Is Causing These Issues?

Well, around and under your home, the earth can move a little bit on occasions.

Water, high or low temperatures and a few similar minor factors may cause the earth to shrink or spread out.

This movement, although it might be minimal, will affect whatever is on top of it, from a house to a driveway or any other solid surface.

The main factor to keeping a home structure solid is to keep excess rain water away from around and beneath the house.

First, a house which sits on a perfectly graded lot will see rainwater flow away from a building and not toward it.

Plus a home equipped with sound rain gutters and maybe an additional water drainage strategy such as a French drain system, will also be in a stronger position to not have excess water under and around the structure.

One particular major factor that a homeowner can’t adjust is the makeup of the ground their house sits on.

Different parts of the country have soil with different qualities.

Some soils are more moisture resistant than other types are.

The more absorbent the soil, the bigger volume of moisture it captures and then the more it can increase when it gets moist.

That isn’t very good.

Thankfully, most Michigan ground is not very absorbent or contain much clay.

However, even a large tree too near your house can cause problems.

A big tree’s roots can expand under a house, create pressure against the concrete and draw water from the dirt, drying it out too much during hot summer months.

These are examples of environmental stress which can contribute to minor cracks in your house’s structure.

And then these small cracks allow in a little water, and those little cracks grow bigger each year.

I Would Like To Put It Off And Do It Later

Look, if you have some trouble with your home and it’s disturbing you, just call a local contractor to at least look at it.

At least you will know what your situation is.

It could be that you don’t actually have a real problem and you do not need to have it fixed.

Maybe you are worrying for no good reason.

You are better off getting it looked at and at least knowing what your issue is.

Even though we would hope these challenges to simply disappear, they normally will not.

Matters like basement foundation crack repair is generally addressed sooner rather than later.

The bottom of your property literally supports the whole rest of your house, from walls to the roof.

It is better to take on these issues as opposed to ignoring them.

Whenever water slowly drips into a basement, it may cause troubles over the years including mold and mildew.

And it will just get worse over time.

If you are focused on trying to sell your house within the next few years, just recognize that almost no buyer wants to put down an offer on a home that has a serious structure trouble or boasts a history of water seepage in the basement.

If you’re a house seller, you need to divulge to the potential buyer any known substantive challenge at your house or you might get in legal trouble after the sale is completed.

It may be a bit alarming.

But they can make a strategy to treat your situation.

Try to not worry.

Issues that appear to the property owner to be too difficult to fix can generally be remedied.

Naturally, it might take a pretty complicated and sometimes difficult operation, nonetheless it can be done.
