Want to update your kitchen but don’t know where to start?
Unfortunately, a sinking or settling foundation is one of the biggest problems homeowners can experience — and it’s one that you DEFINITELY don’t want to ignore.
Just check out what Peak Structural Inc. has to say about it…
“One of the biggest dangers of neglecting a building’s foundation is structural damage. A sinking foundation can lead to massive damages in a home. This process is usually gradual and can culminate in major damages occurring over the years. When a foundation has become weakened, it produces a chain of events that can lead to catastrophic and expensive damages.”
In fact, here are some signs that a home’s foundation damage is starting to take a toll…
Cracks/Fractures
Cracks or fractures in the walls or floors are a common sign of structural problems in the home.
Appearance Of Settling Or Sinking
If the home’s walls and/or floors look like they’re sinking, that’s a sign that the foundation is weakening.
Foundation Upheaval
Conversely, if a foundation is bulging upward, that’s also a sign of structural weakening caused by moisture or the soil underneath expanding and contracting.
Doors That Don’t Work
One of the first signs of structural damage is doors that don’t open or close properly.
Gaps in Windows or Doors
Gaps around the windows or doors is one more sign that the foundation may be sinking.
