21 Sep How to Know if It’s Time for Foundation Repair Services
Investing in proper foundation repair can improve your home and ensure that it stays strong for years to come. However, it’s important to know when to get this type of repair. That way, you get help when you need it and don’t overspend on unnecessary upgrades. Here are a few warning signs that your foundation needs repairs.
Cracks Are Developing
Have you noticed cracks developing in your walls or your floor? That’s a definite sign that your foundation is shifting and needs extra support. Thankfully, fixing your foundation can effectively solve this problem. Note that the cracks themselves should be fixed by contacting professionals who understand these types of issues.
You Notice Mold and Fungus
Have you noticed moisture, as well as mold and fungus, in your basement? This could be indicative of a foundation problem. According to SANI-TRED, a trusted supplier of basement waterproofing, about 38% of all basements that have moisture issues will get mold and fungus. As a result, it’s important to talk to a foundation repair team if your house’s basement develops mold in this way.
Windows and Doors Won’t Close
One of the key things that you’ll notice when you have foundation damage is an inability to close your windows or doors. That’s because a shifting foundation may cause an imbalance in your home that affects the window or door frames. Thankfully, contractors can help with this problem by stabilizing your house and reducing this shift in its overall structure.
Floors and Walls Are Uneven
Try this trick: place a marble on your floor and watch how it moves. If it rolls continually to one side, there’s a potential problem with your foundation. While this could also indicate a lack of levelness in your floor, you can also check your walls for similar unevenness. You’ll want each of these surfaces to be level. If they’re not, it’s time to call a professional.
