Foundation settlement and movement resulting in the need for foundation repair can be caused by building on expansive clay, compressible or improperly compacted fill soils, or improper maintenance around foundations. Whatever the cause, settlement can destroy the value of structures and your home and even make them unsafe. If you think that there is a problem with your foundation, call a professional foundation repair contractor for an assessment of your property. They will be able to assess any damage that has occurred and determine the best plan for your situation. The foundation of your home needs to be routinely checked. Small cracks can end up causing big problems in the future.
The need for foundation repair can come about from a variety of reasons but are most commonly caused by movement of the foundation.
The most common signs of foundation problems include:
- Diagonal cracks in interior wall finishes at the corners of doors and windows.
- Cracks at the intersection of walls and ceilings, and at the intersection of wall surfaces.
- Doors that bind or do not open or close properly. Windows bind or do not open or close properly.
- Un-level floors.
- Cracks in exterior brick, concrete, or masonry.
- Cracks in the concrete perimeter beam.
- Separations of wood trim at the exterior corners of your home.
All of the above symptoms could be a sign of settlement or differential movement. Once settlement has been resolved, foundations that have been damaged can be mended with Carbon Fiber Straps. When it comes to repairing a crack, it is not sufficient to simply fill the crack. You must also restore the structural stability of the structure. This generally requires reinforcement to prevent further movement.
