7 Signs Of Foundation Damage & Issues
Here are a few ways to identify foundation damage signs at your home:
1. Cracks in the Foundation
Horizontal, Vertical, and stair-step cracks in your foundation can be caused by several issues. Cracks can be a sign of foundation settlement, bowing walls, or concrete shrinkage. It’s important to contact a foundation repair specialist to determine the cause of the cracks.
2. Cracks In Brickwork
These come in all shapes and sizes, but depending on the specific problem you have occurring is a definite sign of foundation issues and a contributor to cracked drywall.
3. Cracks In Corners
If you have vinyl siding or other siding material often times the shifting of your foundation can cause separation issues and widening gaps between pieces of siding.
4. Cracks In The Floor
Whether you have ceramic tiles, concrete slab floors, etc. cracks in the floor are a sure sign of settling or shifting of your foundation. These problems only worsen over time if not stopped.
5. Cracks In Drywall
These are the most commonly noticed issues by homeowners. One second, your drywall looks great, the next, you notice a hairline crack starting that gets bigger and bigger over months or years. This is a sign you have foundation problems that need to be resolved. These problems are causing the foundation to shift and your walls to move to result in cracks.
6. Cracks In Stucco
It’s not as common here in the Midwest, but if you have stucco and are getting cracks in it, this is yet another sign that you have foundation problems that are pulling on and cracking your stucco.
7. Gaps In Door Frames Or Windows
Ever notice a window or door suddenly becoming really tight? How about large gaps forming around them? These are both signs that your walls have moved and are likely a result of foundation issues.
