What Causes Foundation Problems?
Several factors contribute to foundation problems as follows:
-
Soil composition: Soils, particularly those with a high clay content, can expand and contract over time, putting pressure on your foundation.
-
Soil movement: Soil also shifts and settles due to natural events, like earthquakes and landslides, or excavating work near the property, causing cracks and unevenness.
-
Tree Roots: Tree roots may grow into the foundation and create pressure that can cause foundation damage.
-
Poor Drainage: Poor drainage near the foundation can cause soil to erode, weaken the concrete, and present the risk that moisture will infiltrate surrounding areas, causing mold and mildew.
-
Overloading: Major remodels, such as room and skylight additions, put pressure on your foundation, which can cause damage.
-
Installation Issues: Installation issues can also require foundation services. The installers may have used poor-quality concrete or installed a foundation that doesn't fit your home's size, leading to the need for a quality foundation upgrade.
What Signs Tell Me I Need Concrete Services?
You may need to hire foundation contractors if you notice the following issues:
-
Sagging Floors and Ceilings: Floors and ceilings may sag as the foundation shifts, making your home unsafe.
-
Wall Cracks: Cracks in the walls, floors, and ceilings may indicate a need for residential foundation repair. You may also notice cracks in your home's exterior and the foundation itself.
-
Sinking Ground Surrounding the Property: If the ground is sinking or water is pooling around your property, it may be a sign that your drainage system isn't working correctly, and your foundation could be in danger.
-
Moisture: You may notice moisture seeping into your walls or signs of mold and mildew, alerting you that your home's foundation is not protecting your home.
-
Sticking Doors and Windows: Sticking doors and windows may signify foundation movement and warping of your walls.
-
Tilted or Cracked Chimney: A tilted or cracked chimney can indicate that your foundation is off kilter.
-
Drainage or Plumbing Issues: Shifts in your home's foundation can cause pipes in your plumbing system to disconnect, leading to leaks and drainage issues.
