Sloping floors

Is your flooring starting to buckle, bow, or warp? Sloping floors are a primary indicator of two problems with the foundation: uneven settling in the outer foundation or uneven settling of the support columns beneath the floor system. It could also be an indicator of both happening at once. Either way, it’s not a problem that can fix itself, and it can get worse over time.

The good news is that sloping floor repair is possible. There are a few different techniques that can be used to fix a sloping floor, depending on what part of the foundation is experiencing settlement: the outer foundation or the columns beneath the floor.

Other Signs of Foundation Problems

Sloping floors are often accompanied by other symptoms of foundation problems—doors that do not open or close properly, cracks in the walls, or cracks in basement floors. If any of these exist along with the sloping floors, it is likely that the problem is getting worse.

Uneven settlement of the foundation can be caused by a variety of factors. Several of them can also be connected to waterproofing problems. One common sign of waterproofing problems is water leaking in where the floor slab meets the foundation wall. Another common sign of waterproofing problems is a damp cement floor.

Foundation problems can only get worse with time, which is why they should be addressed as soon as possible. If you’re noticing sloping floors or any of the other signs of foundation problems, you should contract a local foundation repair contractor like ’58 Foundations & Waterproofing.
