FOUNDATION REPAIR

How to Tell if Your Home’s Foundation Has a Problem

Your foundation keeps your home stable and level. When problems start, the signs are often small—cracks in walls, doors that stick, or floors that feel uneven. These issues are easy to overlook, but catching them early can prevent major structural damage and costly repairs.

Why Foundation Problems Happen

Your foundation relies on the soil beneath it for support. When the soil shifts or weakens, the foundation can move or settle. Common causes include:

• Soil shrinking and expanding during dry weather or heavy rain

• Poor drainage that washes away soil around the foundation

• Improper soil preparation before construction

• Tree roots pulling moisture from the soil near the home

Warning Signs of Foundation Problems

Inside Your Home

• Cracks in walls or drywall, especially near windows and doors

• Doors or windows that stick or won’t close properly

• Uneven or sloping floors

• Gaps between walls, ceilings, or floors

Outside Your Home

• Cracks in the foundation, bricks, or exterior walls

• Bowing or leaning walls

• A chimney that appears to tilt or separate from the house

• Gaps around doors, windows, or garage openings

If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to have your foundation inspected before the problem worsens.
