Common Home Foundation Problems And The Solutions We Offer
You may have noticed cracks along the walls or floors in your basement. These cracks can range from hairline to larger more defined openings depending on the amount of Hydrostatic Pressure (water pressure) being around the outside of your home’s foundation. You may also have noticed moisture or dampness on the floor or walls after a heavy or saturating rain. Cracks manifest in a variety of shapes, sizes, and directions. For example, you may see step cracks and vertical or horizontal cracks along the foundation walls. It is important to note that cracks like this do not usually appear naturally. Settling, hydrostatic pressure, tree root intrusion, nearby construction, and age are also cause of this type of problem.
