Structural Foundation Problems: Symptoms to Look For

Signs of foundation problems can seem minor, such as a sticking door or a small crack in a basement wall. Other signs of a failing foundation can seem downright scary, such as a noticeable tilt in a wall or the chimney separating from the home! It’s important to evaluate any of these common signs of foundation damage before the problem gets worse and threatens the safety and value of your home. The sooner you check out any possible foundation issues, the better: the cure will be faster, less costly, and less intrusive. Don’t neglect signs of potential foundation problems too long!

Common Signs of Foundation Problem:

• Cracked Brick/Stucco - Stair-step cracks in exterior foundation walls.
• Bowing Walls - Concrete wall leaning in at the top.
• Shearing Walls - Inward movement of the bottom of the block wall.
• Ceiling Gaps - Space between the ceiling and the interior wall.
• Sagging Floors - Sloping floors or gap between the floor and the interior wall.

What Causes Foundation Problems in Detroit?

Foundation settlement occurs when your home’s foundation shifts and unevenly sinks into the ground. Soil changes over time and initial construction issues can also lead to a weak or failing foundation. The best foundation repair solution is one that has been customized for the conditions and history of your home.

The Impact of Soils

The soil your home is built on and that surrounds the home plays a major role in the stability and strength of your foundation. Expansive soils shrink and expand with the dramatic changes that each season brings, exerting pressure against basement and crawl space walls. Hydrostatic pressure leads to uneven settlement, where the foundation sinks unevenly into the soil.

Loosely compacted “fill soil” (the soil that was added back after your home’s foundation was dug out and constructed) also contributes to foundation problems. Leaks, excessive humidity, groundwater levels, drainage and the angle of the foundation to your yard and garden all play a role in how your foundation performs. Luckily, Foundation Supportworks offers effective proven techniques to stabilize foundations. Your Detroit foundation repair contractor in the Foundation Supportworks network can design a solution that prevents further movement, cracking, or bowing, and permanently strengthens and stabilizes your foundation.
