The foundation is an important component of your home. One of the challenges is that you might not know that there's a problem until it's too late. The good news is that there are a few things you can look out for to be proactive.
Cracks in Your Basement Walls and Floors
It's normal for small cracks to appear in your basement's concrete shortly after it's poured, as concrete naturally shrinks while curing.
However, if you notice cracks that are widening, leaking, or bowing, it's important to address them. These could indicate more serious underlying issues.
Cracked Bricks
Cracks forming in the bricks on the interior or exterior of your home aren't normal. Cracks can range from small to very large.
Cracks in bricks usually signify a foundational issue. '58 Foundations can determine the cause of the cracks and provide you with effective solutions.
Sagging or Sloped Floors
Sagging floors often occur in homes with crawl space foundations. You might notice your floor sloping toward the center of a room or a gap between the floor and the baseboard.
This issue typically requires crawl space repair, as it's usually caused by moisture seeping into the floor joists, causing them to weaken.
There are a lot of reasons you might be encountering foundation problems. Let's discuss some of the most common ones.
Expansive Soils
Expansive soils, also known as heavable soil, shrink-swell soil, or clay soil, contain a high amount of clay that absorbs significant moisture.
When these soils take in more water, they expand. This expansion exerts pressure on your foundation, leading to cracks or waterproofing issues.
Deep Foundations
Deep foundations are crucial for homes that have basements. A deep foundation needs to support the weight of your home and basement. It also has to fight against pressure from the surrounding soil.
The weight of the soil, in addition to changes in weather, can cause the pressure to shift and change. These alterations can result in problems with your foundation.
