Your Foundation is Talking—Are You Listening?
Your home’s foundation is its backbone, and when it starts to weaken, the signs are often subtle at first. Ignoring foundation issues can lead to expensive repairs and safety hazards. Here are five warning signs that indicate it’s time to call a foundation repair expert:
1. Cracks in Walls, Floors, or Ceilings
Small hairline cracks may be normal, but large, widening cracks—especially around doors and windows—are a major red flag. They often indicate foundation movement.
2. Doors & Windows That Stick or Won’t Close Properly
If your doors and windows suddenly become difficult to open or close, your foundation could be shifting, causing misalignment.
3. Uneven or Sloping Floors
A slight slope may not seem like a big deal, but if your floors feel noticeably uneven, it could mean your foundation is settling or sinking.
4. Gaps Between Walls & Ceilings or Baseboards
Have you noticed spaces forming between your walls and ceilings? This could be due to foundation settlement, which requires immediate attention.
5. Water Pooling Around Your Home’s Perimeter
Poor drainage can erode the soil beneath your foundation, leading to shifting and cracking. Installing a French drain can help prevent future damage.
