If doors rub the frame, won't latch, or windows are hard to open and close, there's likely movement in your foundation.

As your foundation shifts or settles, it can change the shape of door and window frames. What starts small can get worse over time.

The sooner the cause is found, the easier it is to fix.

• Foundation settlement or shifting
• Soil expansion and contraction
• Water around the foundation
• Poor drainage or downspout issues
• Tree roots affecting the foundation
• Construction next to your home

• Doors that rub, bind, or won't close
• Gaps at the top or sides of the door
• Windows hard to open or close

• Cracks in walls near doors or windows
• Trim separating from the wall
• Doors that swing open or closed on their own

Not every sticking door is a foundation issue. That's why Ameri-Dry begins with a thorough inspection.

We determine:

• What's causing the movement
• Whether the movement is active
• If the foundation is settling or shifting
• The repair options appropriate for your home

Ameri-Dry uses proven methods to stabilize your foundation and stop the movement that causes doors and windows to stick.

Once the foundation is stabilized, your doors and windows should open and close the way they were meant to.

Three repair steps shown on the page:

• Foundation Stabilization - Stabilizes the foundation and prevents further movement.
• Improve Drainage - Directs water away from your foundation to reduce soil movement.
• Restore & Adjust - After stabilization, doors and windows are adjusted and work properly again.
