I’m Not Sure My House Has a Problem

A number of property problems can be simple to recognize; other problems come to pass so gradually many property owners don’t see them.

Although a majority of these troubles take place at older homes, even owners of new houses might encounter them.

What Are Some Signs of a Foundation Situation?

• Gaps around an interior or exterior door or garage door
• Exterior or interior brick walls or mortar have cracks
• Large cracks in a concrete foundation or basement floor
• Cracking going up and down in sheet rock, even if they’re not that long
• Sloping or spongy interior floors
• Separation between exterior walls or a wall and chimney
• Doors or windows are closing and opening hard and sticking to their frames
• Cracking in exterior walls
• Water is getting into your basement once in a while
• A wet crawlspace or puddles of water near your house after it rains
• Separations or cracks in interior wood molding
• Spaces between walls and the ceiling or the walls and the floor
• Your basement feels damp or humid

My Problem Looks Hard to Repair. Is It?

Homeowners often think that foundation faults would be nearly impossible to deal with, but, in fact, most can be fixed.

Nonetheless, most of these home improvements will require properly trained and seasoned foundation repair companies and crews, working with special equipment, to carry out a home leveling, remedy a sinking home foundation, or properly finish any other major structural issue.

Waterproofing a Crawlspace

If you’re seeing water in your crawlspace once in a while, they will figure out why it is happening and figure out how to prevent it from happening again.

Homeowners sometimes get worried that making their crawlspace or slab waterproof could call for work on the interior basement walls, and for homeowners with finished basements, that will be a problem.

Many of these waterproofing alternatives do not take any kind of work on the interior walls themselves, but simply on the lot surrounding the house.

Once they make an inspection, they will develop a strategy to cure the issue.

Westminster Concrete Lifting Service

If portions of your concrete garage floor, front walk or courtyard has sunk, they can typically have that corrected too.

The method they use to get it done known as slabjacking or mud jacking.

To help you raise your cement slab back to where it initially was, they power a thick liquid filler mixture underneath your sunk slab.

This mud goes into the unfilled gaps, solidifies and pushes your concrete back up to the suitable height.

In addition to overall appearance, the key reason property owners go ahead with slab jacking is that having unequal concrete sections can bring about trips, falls and, in the warm weather months, stubbed toes.

Many projects are wrapped up in just a few hours.

Why Is This Situation Happening to Me?

While they can’t see it happen, the ground moves a little over time.

It can shrink and expand.

This occurs normally due to the exposure to water and temperature changes.

And even though this activity is very small and gradual, these kinds of contracting and expanding actions can put stress on whatever building is situated on top of (or even in) that soil.

Over time, this prolonged stress can impact the condition of just about any kind of solid structure.

Even though you can’t manipulate the weather or the physical qualities of the soil, there are a few steps you can take.

A couple of effective steps to take include ensuring that the lot where your house is situated is correctly graded and has a decent drainage plan and you have installed a good gutter system to escort that rain water away from your home.

One critical element beyond your control is the variety of soil your home is built on.

Not all soil is all the same.

Some types of clay soil swell and enlarge when exposed to water much more than others do.

One more somewhat uncommon cause of property problems is having a major tree that is too near your home.

This tree can lead to issues if the roots grow underneath the house and put stress on water lines and your cement slab.

These components will add to the development of small-scale concrete cracks eventually.

Minor cracks let in humidity and may grow into larger cracks.

And bigger cracks can cause trouble.

Can’t I Put it Off? Do It Some Other Time?

If you think you have a problem, you probably should have it checked out.

It may end up that what you were worried about is not actually anything important.

But if you have it examined, at least you will know for sure.

You shouldn’t ignore it.

Bear in mind, your foundation supports your whole house. The roof, walls and floors depend on it.

If you can’t maintain it you could end up in a severe challenge.

Any time water slowly drains into a basement, it can cause troubles over time including mold and mildew.

And it will just become worse eventually.

Attempting to sell your house without doing any necessary repairs probably isn’t a great idea either.

Hardly any home buyers are serious about a home that has any hint of water in the basement or structure problems.

Also, it is a house seller’s obligation to tell a buyer of any real home flaw.

You don’t want to get into a situation of having to say that you knew there was a serious condition, however you didn’t get it corrected and you didn’t tell the buyer about it.

Lots of predicaments that look way too tough to correct in the property owner’s opinion can usually be remedied.

They might involve a complex repair process, but they can be achieved.
