Introduction
What happens when the foundation of your home starts showing signs of distress? Foundation issues can be daunting, but early detection and intervention are key to maintaining the safety and value of your home.
Recognizing the Signs
Here are some indicators that your home might benefit from push pier stabilization:
Visible Cracks in the Walls or Floors
Check for horizontal or stair-step cracks in brickwork, cracks in the drywall, or gaps between walls and floors. While small hairline cracks may not always indicate a serious issue, larger or widening cracks should be assessed by a professional.
Doors and Windows That Stick or Don’t Close Properly
If your doors or windows suddenly start sticking, or if they fail to close properly, it could be a sign of foundation movement. This misalignment often occurs when the foundation shifts, causing the frames to become uneven.
Uneven or Sloping Floors
Uneven floors can be a symptom of a settling foundation. While it might not seem like a major issue initially, it’s important to address it before the problem worsens.
Water Damage or Pooling Around the Foundation
Look for signs of water damage, such as dampness in the basement or pooling water near the foundation, which can make foundation problems worse.
