Dripping, leaks or pooling of water can occur under and around your house for a couple of reasons. One could be a plumbing problem such as a leaking pipe; if you suspect that, you need to address that issue as soon as possible by calling a certified plumber. Another possibility could be if there have been several consecutive days of rain – if rain gutters were not installed when the house was built, rain water tends to accumulate and saturate the ground all around your foundation. This means that the foundation can begin to heave, and your house becomes no longer level. House foundation repair is designed to fix this.
The same thing can happen if we go for an extended amount of time without rain. The ground becomes very dry, and begins to subside in some places. Again, when this happens under your foundation, you notice problems with the house not being level.
These problems would not happen if the foundation were built to withstand events such as these. The original contractor probably did not sink piers under the foundation, and years later the shifting ground starts to cause issues. That’s where we come in to provide house foundation repair.
When you call us to schedule a free homeowner’s inspection, we come out and do a few things:
- We look at the home from the outside to see if there are any visible problems. These can include cracks in the exterior, separations, and gaps at doors and/or windows, and cracks at the edge of the foundation slab. We also take detailed measurements and create a scale floor plan.
- We then look at your home from the inside. Here we might see cracks in the walls, ceilings or floors. We might also see problems created by compression rather than separation. We take several readings using leveling equipment, and this tells how much the foundation has moved (if at all).
- Based on our inspection, we provide you with a detailed report that explains what we found. Along with this, we will include our recommendations about the best strategy to resolve the foundation problems, and a written estimate on the overall cost.
Your house's foundation plays a critical role in the overall structural integrity of your home. Depending on what kind of environment you live in and what kind of foundation you have, there are signs that you can look for. Indications that may mean you need house foundation repair include sloping ceilings and floors, cracked or crumbling interior or exterior walls, and slanted, skewed or misshaped door and window frames. When your foundation begins to crack and crumble, your whole house can begin to sink and give way, causing many parts of your home to change shape and warp. If you've noticed any of these signs or symptoms in your house, don't wait to give us a call.
