FOUNDATION DAMAGE SYMPTOMS IN BRISTOL & TRI-CITIES HOMES
Foundation damage isn't always visible to the naked eye. So, it is vital to understand the common symptoms to know if your Bristol & Tri-Cities home has foundation damage. Watch for the following problems, and contact the American Foundation & Waterproofing professionals for help if you see any of them.
Floor Cracks & Gaps Between Floor Planks
If your home in Bristol or Tri-Cities has floor cracks and gaps that appear in concrete basement floors or wooden flooring, this is often an early indicator of foundation trouble.
Interior & Exterior Wall Cracks
Another common symptom of foundation settlement issues is cracking in exterior or interior walls. These wall cracks in your Bristol or Tri-Cities home can show up as stair-step cracks in brick walls or small or large cracks in concrete and drywall.
Bowed Walls
Bending or bowing walls are a strong indicator of foundation settlement. This symptom is serious as it means the integrity of your Bristol & Tri-Cities home is compromised.
Uneven, Sloping Floors
Do your floors have a slope or feel uneven? That is a symptom of underlying foundation issues and possible foundation damage in your Bristol or Tri-Cities home.
Doors & Windows that Stick
When a foundation settles, it exerts undue pressure on a home's entire support structure. This pressure can result in significant shifting of the home's frame. When this happens, doors and windows become difficult to open and close.
Gaps Appearing Between Walls & Ceiling, Doors & Windows
As a home's overall structure begins settling or shifting, it may cause gaps between the floor or ceiling and walls. These can also arise around window and door frames.
