Your home’s foundation is its literal backbone. Without a solid base, your house can face serious structural issues that lead to costly repairs if left untreated. At SolidBase Foundation Repair, we understand the importance of catching early warning signs before they escalate. Here are five common signs that your foundation may need professional attention.
1. Cracks in Walls, Floors, or Ceilings
Not all cracks are created equal. Hairline cracks from normal settling are common, but larger, zig-zagging cracks can indicate structural issues. If the cracks are widening over time, it’s time to consult a professional.
💡 Solution: Our crack injection services use advanced polyurethane or epoxy methods to seal and stabilize cracks, ensuring your home remains secure.
2. Bowed Basement Walls
If your basement walls are bowing or bulging inward, it’s a sign of excessive pressure from outside soil or water. Ignoring this can lead to complete wall failure.
💡 Solution: SolidBase uses unidirectional carbon fiber straps to restore stability to your walls. Backed by a 15-year warranty, these straps provide long-lasting reinforcement.
3. Uneven or Sagging Floors
Do your floors feel uneven or slanted? This could signal foundation settling or problems with the underlying concrete slab. Uneven floors can lead to further structural instability.
💡 Solution: Our slab repair services stabilize and restore cracked or uneven floors, ensuring durability for years to come.
4. Water Damage or Leaks in the Basement
Persistent leaks or water pooling in your basement often indicate foundation cracks, poor sealing, or pipe penetration issues. Water damage can weaken your foundation and lead to mold growth.
💡 Solution: From pipe penetration sealing to tie rod injection, we offer specialized solutions to prevent further water intrusion and maintain a dry, secure basement.
5. Sticking Doors and Windows
If your doors and windows are difficult to open or close, it might not just be a hardware issue. Shifting foundations can distort frames and create alignment problems.
💡 Solution: Our team conducts thorough inspections to identify the root cause and implement cost-effective repairs that restore functionality to your home.
