SIGNS OF FOUNDATION PROBLEMS
To repair or not to repair? That is the question! Keeping an eye out for early signs of foundation repair will save you a lot of money and time in the long run. Some signs that you might need to schedule an evaluation are:
- Stair-step cracks in the walls
- Uneven or sloping flooring
- Doors and windows that stick or won’t close
- Cracks in the masonry work
- Plumbing leaks/issues
- Gaps between your siding or roof
WHAT CAUSES FOUNDATION ISSUES?
Landscaping, irrigation, and Texas’ drastic weather patterns can have a huge impact on your soil. What it comes down to is this: too much or too little water in the soil causes foundation issues. The arid climate in Texas and propensity to drought around the state means foundation issues are very common. That’s why we say that #shifthappens.
Signs of potential foundation issues include floor sinkage, cracks in concrete walls, and property shifting, among others. Our experienced foundation repair professionals and engineers will be able to analyze the foundation damage present and give you the best plan of repair for your needs and budget.
The good news? Most of the time we can fix the problem without you needing to leave your home. Instead of breaking through your floor, we have a tunneling team who creates 3’ x 3’ tunnels outside of your property so our team can lift your home without causing you more problems. Now that’s some shift we can get behind.
WHEN TO REPAIR FOUNDATION PROBLEMS
Temperate months, albeit hard to come by in Texas, are the best times for foundation repair. That’s why we recommend getting your foundation evaluated during fall and spring.
That being said, the best time to repair your foundation is when you first notice warning signs of foundation issues (i.e. doors that won’t close, stair-step cracks around windows). This will prevent more issues from developing and will allow us to help create a foundation maintenance plan tailored to your property.
