How Do I Know For Sure I Have a Problem?

Often, it’s obvious to a homeowner that they have a structure problem.

Sometimes, the evidence is really obvious and easy to see; But sometimes the property owner is not really sure they’ve got a issue.

And these kind of problems can show up in any type of home construction, from old to newer houses.

Are These Problems Difficult to Fix?

Homeowners occasionally believe their property problems might be nearly impossible to take care of, but, in fact, almost all problems can be fixed.

A big house structure repair job requires an expert contractor, with the appropriate crew and tools in order to get it done right.

Getting under a home, lifting it up and making it level without interrupting the structural integrity of the home is not for an inexperienced.

West Oklahoma City Waterproofing Contractor

In case your house structure keeps getting wet, these folks can establish the reasons why it’s happening and how to prevent it.

To be able to waterproof your house, they might work down under it, concentrate only on the soil and yard close to your house, or perhaps they work on a mix of the two.

Many times, simply regrading the soil, installing rain gutters and investing in an outside drain can cure the problem without needing to deal with your basement walls at all.

Yukon Slab Lifting Service

If you have a portion of your concrete courtyard, walkway or garage floor that has sunk through the years, they can typically get that raised back in place.

The job procedure they use is referred to as either slabjacking or mudjacking.

(Wet cement is usually known as “mud” in our business.)

Mudjacking is the process of forcefully pushing a heavy substance directly below a sunken slab which, after it has filled up all the cavities beneath the cement, forces the slab to rise up.

When each of your walkway, porch and driveway slabs are all at the same height again, they are going to look even better.

And nobody will be tripping on the uneven edges any more either.

What Causes This to Occur to Houses Anyway?

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

The soil that lies right under your house periodically changes, shifts and moves.

It swells and shrinks based on contact with moisture and temperature. Illustration of a single family house losing its balance

This continual contraction and expansion of the soil sets stress on even a solid home.

Most building owners will not have a real structure or water concern, but a few will.

There are some steps a homeowner might be able to do in order to help prevent problems.

First of all, they can be sure the residential lot their home is located on is correctly graded and moves water away from their house.

They can also be sure to have decent gutters that will take the rain that hits the top of their home and directs it away from their house.

The natural composition of the ground your home was built on can be a prime aspect as well.

Some types of soil can swell more than other soils when exposed to water.

The soil around Oklahoma can vary in characteristics from one suburb to the next. In some areas it is considered fairly absorbent. Other areas, only somewhat absorbent.

One other item that could be a factor is the existence of a significant tree that is way too near to your home.

Although it’s not as common, during a lengthy dry spell, a large tree’s roots can suck all the extra moisture from the ground near making the ground too dry and compacted.

And thick, long roots can also exert pressure on a building’s structure too.

Environment and continual physical forces can contribute to microscopic splits in your home’s basement.

These minor cracks welcome in moisture and air, and a few of these minor splits become big cracks, and some of the big cracks come to be major problem splits.

Can’t I Just Wait?

If you have a situation at your home, you need to get it checked and corrected.

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

You may wish that your property problem just magically disappears on its own, but it won’t. It won’t get better over time.

Smallish cracks might develop into larger cracks.

Smaller sized faults will only become worse.

And if you are finding outside water under your home on a pretty regular basis, it may end up in mold.

And nobody wants to have a mold situation in their home.

In case you’re thinking about selling your house, just remember, no real estate buyer prefers to buy a home with a suspected structural worry or has warning signs of moisture issues in the past.

If you’re seeing a few unsettling signals at your house, you shouldn’t be worried that the condition is going to be too difficult or too expensive to be repaired.

An experienced West OKC contractor can treat practically any predicament.
