When you move into a home, one of the last issues you expect is a cracked or crumbling foundation. These issues can seem like they’re happening out of the blue but may begin exhibiting signs before a replacement is required. Having your foundation assessed by a professional. If your home begins to show any of the following signs of damage, contact a masonry professional for an inspection and repair.
Your Floors Are Beginning to Angle or Sink
Are you beginning to get the sense that your floors are tilted? This could be a sign of a sinking foundation. If your floors are beginning to slope, you will need the help of a contractor to restore your home to a proper, straight line. Visible sinking is another sign that your foundation is experiencing serious problems that will need to be repaired as quickly as possible.
Doors & Windows Will Not Work Correctly
You may begin to notice difficulties getting your doors and windows to open and close fully. They may begin to jam partway or dislodge from the track, not matching their designated spot. This can occur due to sloping in your foundation and be indicative of a larger problem with your home’s structure.
Decorations Will Not Stay in Place
Items may begin sliding off of your shelves if your floors are beginning to show signs of instability. If your home has wallpaper or borders, they may begin to tear or wrinkle as the wall begins to slope at a lower angle. The carpet may buckle due to the new angle, leaving loose patches around your floor.
