Not every home requires a foundation assessment, but there are several signs that indicate it might be time to call in the experts. If you notice any of the following issues, it’s a good idea to schedule a Foundation Engineering Assessment with Acculift. Cracks in your walls, floors, or the exterior of your foundation can be a sign of settling or shifting. While small hairline cracks are common and not always a cause for concern, larger cracks or those that continue to grow over time should be evaluated by a professional. If your doors or windows suddenly become difficult to open or close, or if they no longer fit properly in their frames, this could be a sign that your foundation is shifting or settling unevenly. If you notice that your floors are uneven, sloping, or have developed dips, this could indicate a problem with your foundation. Over time, uneven floors can become a tripping hazard and may signal serious structural issues. Water intrusion in your basement can lead to a host of problems, including mold growth, wood rot, and foundation damage. If you notice water pooling in your basement, it’s important to have your foundation assessed to determine if water is entering through cracks or other vulnerabilities. Walls that are bowing inward or bulging are a clear sign of foundation distress. This is often caused by soil pressure exerted against the foundation and can lead to significant structural damage if not addressed promptly. Gaps between your home’s exterior walls and doors or windows can indicate that your foundation is shifting. These gaps can allow water and pests to enter your home, leading to further damage. If you notice that one side of your home appears lower than the other, or if you observe gaps between the foundation and the ground, your foundation may be settling unevenly. This can cause serious structural issues if not corrected.
