Foundation Repair 

Foundation problems will lead to major structural damage and costly repairs within your home. If you are a homeowner or a perspective buyer, foundation repairs are necessary and can be challenging.  Most likely, you will likely have a lot of questions.

Fortunately many foundation repairs can be accomplished without having to move the house and tear out the foundation.

Detect Foundation Problems Early

But by the time visible foundation settling or sinking is seen, it may be too late to avoid costly repairs.  Here are a few signs for detecting early foundation problems:

• Separation around doors and windows;
• Doors and windows that won't close or open properly;
• Gaps between walls, ceilings, and floors;
• Visible cracks when viewed from the basement;
• Cracks on the outside of the home;
• Uneven floors;
• Poor maintenance of rain gutters, which could lead to excess water pressure on the walls;
• Improper maintenance around the outside of the foundation;

Issues with your foundation occur in many different ways.  Because the earth is constantly moving, shifting, and settling -problems are more likely to occur in older homes.  Also homes in hotter - more humid climates are more vulnerable.

There are many ways of underpinning, piering, and reinforcing foundations. The solution you may need is very likely unique to your foundation problem.
