How Do Foundation Cracks Occur?
You may be wondering what causes foundation cracks and damage. Typically, the damage done on a foundation occurs over a long period of time. Soil expansion and contracting soil comes with climate changes. Soil movement is usually the culprit. Water seepage often is a result of foundation cracks caused by unstable soil. Expansive soil combined with heavy rainfall, often results in ruined carpet or flooring, personal property destruction and unhealthy living environment from mold, mildew and contaminated air. Our company has noted that a majority of foundation damage we see especially basement or crawl space water damage could have been avoided. Many times we visit with a property owner and learn that for years problem signs went without being addressed. Don't ignore bowing or buckling walls, foundation wall cracks, if you notice doors or windows in your home are sticking, not operating properly you should give us a call for help. We often see chimneys separating from a home or separation of mortar joints in brick...these are warning signs and need to be looked at by a professional foundation expert. If a bowing or buckling wall or cracked foundation wall is not fixed eventually water slowly and steadily is able to damage a foundation further and cause it to become unstable, as well as unsafe.
To avoid potentially hazardous living conditions for your family, foundation repair needs to be done properly as soon as you notice any cracks in foundation walls, bowing walls, sinking slabs or stoops sinking. Many folks wait to repair a leaky basement or repair a foundation problem until they try to sell their home. With today's disclosure laws you must advise any future property owner of any issues so save yourself unnecessary headaches by dealing with these issues now. Another common mistake we see is untrained homeowners trying to fix problems with "band aid" type products. Putting a coat of "water seal" paint on a leaky wall is not going to permanently fix a leak. Trying to secure a bowed wall or sinking foundation with a support pipe is not going to work, nor pass inspection upon sale of a property. The big box stores are full of gimmicks for the do-it-yourself audience. Unfortunately, we see over and over, people trying to "fix their foundation, bowing wall or leaky basement" sometimes 3, 4 or 5 times only to end up calling in a professional firm with the knowledge, experience and training to repair these issues once and for all. Save yourself the pain, call Anchored Walls today.
