Basement Waterproofing | West Bloomfield, MI

Your home puts up with a lot of wear and tear. Not just from you and your family living in it, but also just from existing in a place like West Bloomfield that experiences all four seasons, usually with very drastic weather. With time, those harsh winters and rainy springs can eat away at your home’s structure, and you might not even know it until it’s too late.

Fortunately at Bluebird, we are specially trained to detect these foundational issues and fix them with great care. Here is what you should know about our approach to foundation repair:

Damaged Foundation Signs

Your home’s foundation is every you look. From the walls to the floors, that foundation is holding your home together and keeping it from collapsing in on itself.

While some foundational issues can be hard to spot, here are some that you may notice early:

• Cracks in Floor – Cracks in your floor are not just unsightly; they may also hint at something going on in your home’s foundation. Cracks usually result when the foundation settles.
• Cracks in Drywall – Drywall cracks are perhaps the most likely to go unnoticed, but they are no less serious than any others. These usually result when the walls move with the shifting foundation.
• Cracks in Brickwork – Bricks may seem strong, but they are just as susceptible to foundational cracks as any other materials. If you notice cracks in your bricks, you will want to investigate for any structural issues.
• Cracks in Corners – Have you been noticing large gaps in your siding or small cracks in corners? If so, shifting foundation may be to blame.
• Leaning Chimney – Your chimney should be standing proud and tall. If it is not, then you will want to look into that to ensure that the foundation is solid.

Reasons for Foundation Repair

Foundation repair isn’t just a matter of keeping your house looking new and pretty. It is a safety concern. If you leave these issues unaddressed for too long, your entire house will suffer. In fact, it is best to confront these problems head-on while they are still small and manageable. At this stage, the solutions are also cheaper.

Bottom line: the goal of foundation repair is to ensure that your home’s structure remains durable for many years to come. This is very important whether you plan on living there for a while or selling the house once you are ready to move on.
