Atlanta – Signs of Foundation Problems

Your home or business’s foundation is imperative to structural integrity. If the foundation is not sound, your property runs the risk of sinking, sliding, or even possibly of walls crumbling over time. It might not seem like a big deal at the onset, but if you let a small issue go too far, it can quickly escalate and cause major headaches and financial troubles down the road. If you spot one of the many signs of foundation problems, it’s best to act quickly as opposed to wait and hope it will fix itself.

What are the Signs?

There are numerous signs of foundation problems you should look out for in your home or commercial property if you believe the groundwork isn’t level. But, what are some of the most common signs of foundation problems? Some of them include

1. Foundation cracks
2. Cracks in walls or siding
3. Fractures in the floors, walls, or siding
4. Settling or sinking in the foundation
5. Movement of piers, beams, or other structural finishes
6. Foundation upheaval (the foundation is coming up off the ground)
7. Doors sticking, or not opening/closing properly
8. Gaps around doors or window frames
9. Unexplained gaps outside the siding of the home or business structure
10. Floors that sag, creek, or are uneven (even just slightly).

And, this isn’t even an all-inclusive list of all of the signs of foundation problems in your property. If you notice one of these, the issue might not be too grave. If you notice several, you need to act quickly and call the right specialist to visit your home immediately.

Why Act Fast?

The answer may seem pretty obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many people try to “wait it out” to see if the issue will resolve itself.

A small crack or seeping on the floor can be fixed quickly if you call early. The longer you wait, the more these issues are going to grow in magnitude, and the worst matters will get in terms of repair and costs to you.
