How To Know If You Need An Inspection For Possible Foundation Repairs
Foundation repair may be required if you are seeing cracks in the mortar or concrete in the foundation of your home. If your foundation is unstable, your home may suffer serious damage structurally. Older foundations, and those exposed to moisture and unstable ground beneath them should be inspected regularly. Without a stable foundation your home is in danger of serious structural damage if not outright collapse. Foundations are built to last a very long time, but, even so, they wear down like anything else.
If you see any of the following signs that a foundation repair may be required, such as cracks in the concrete, call Ward Construction, a foundation repair specialist, today.
Look for any of the following warning signs that your foundation may need repair.. Inspect for cracks forming in the exterior mortar, concrete foundation, or brick foundation. Interior cracks in walls above windows and doors often indicate a problem developing. Basement walls that are bowing even slightly suggest foundation problems. Floors that are sloped or uneven may mean the foundation needs attention. This is especially true in a new development. If a chimney separates from the home, it may suggest the foundation is failing in some way. Foundation failure can be caused by changes in the condition of the soil around your home. New homes can have construction defects, so pay attention to cracks that may develop.. Sometimes the foundation is simply getting old.
The worst thing you can do is ignore signs of foundation failure. Foundation repairs done early are usually much less expensive than waiting for the problem to get worse.
Foundation repairs often require drainage and retaining walls to divert water away from the home. In addition to foundation repairs, it is usually necessary to prevent further damage caused by poor drainage. To help protect your home from foundation repairs, we install drains and retaining walls.
