I’m Not Sure My House Has a Problem

In some instances, a homeowner is aware right away their house has a structure challenge.

They are able to see the signs. It’s really obvious.

But in other scenarios, it can be hard to see the symptoms.

And while the majority of problems develop at homes that have been around for a while, trouble might pop up at all types of properties, from older to relatively new and from inexpensive houses to expensive estates.

• Gaps around an interior door, exterior door or garage door
• Interior or exterior brick walls or mortar have cracks
• Sizable cracks in a concrete foundation or basement cement floor
• Cracks going up and down in drywall, even if they aren’t that long
• Pitched or bouncy interior floors
• Visual gaps between exterior walls or a wall and chimney
• Windows or doors are closing and opening hard and sticking to their frames
• Cracks in any exterior walls
• Water gets into your basement more often than once
• A wet crawlspace or puddles of water next to your home after rains
• Separations or cracks in interior wood molding
• Gaps between walls and ceiling or the walls and the floor
• Your basement always seems damp or humid

Is My Problem Going To Be Really Hard To Correct?

With that in mind, curing a house structure challenge will take an expert contractor plus a reliable work crew.

They also require the proper tools and gear to lift and fine-tune a home that is no longer perfect and level.

Slabjacking or Concrete Slab Lifting in West Los Angeles

If sections of your concrete front walk, terrace or courtyard has sunken, they will correct that too.

The process is called mud jacking (also called slab jacking).

Mud jacking or slabjacking describes the process where they push a heavy liquid compound below the sunk slab.

As they drive this heavy liquid beneath the concrete, it fills up the gaps beneath it and becomes compacted enough to push the cement slab up to its initial height.

Besides wanting a better overall appearance, the biggest reason property owners pay for slab jacking is that walking on adjoining mismatched concrete segments can lead to trips, stumbles, accidents and stubbed toes.

Nearly all jobs are completed in only a few hours.

Why Is This Happening at My House?

Well, all around and below your house, the dirt can move a small amount a few times each year.

Moisture content, temperature and a few similar slight factors could cause the earth to contract or expand.

This motion, even though it may be minor, can impact whatever is on top of it, from a house to a driveway or any other solid object.

Even while you can’t influence the climate where you are, having your home sitting on a lot which has inadequate water drainage or bad yard grading or your house doesn’t have sound rain gutters can be significant factors in whether or not you develop a nasty situation.

The brand of soil your home is constructed on is a critical aspect as well.

Particular sorts of clay soil swell or contract more than others do when they get damp or dried out.

Most areas along the California coast are generally okay, but many areas of California do have these problem clay soils.

An additional somewhat uncommon origin of property troubles is having a big tree that is too near to your building.

It might lead to problems as the roots reach beneath the home and put tension on water and sewer pipes and maybe your concrete slab.

These kinds of environmental stress can result in the introduction of little cracks in your house’s foundation.

These slight cracks will invite moisture, air and even tiny bugs, and then those tiny cracks will get bigger as years go by.

I Want To Put It Off And Do It Later

The inspection, at least, is not something you should put off for long.

If you don’t resolve it you may be in a more difficult predicament later.

Anytime a basement is permitting moisture get into it, the ensuing ailments can vary from a musty smell to mold growth.

Plus, every year the situation will often grow more serious.
