Foundation shifting or settling can take place because of several factors. Before any foundation repair is done, one needs to identify and understand these factors.

Basement foundation problems

One of the common causes of foundation issues is dampness. At times, it is too little moisture, and occasionally it may be a lot. Problem with downspouts, your drainage system and gutters can also lead to it. Clogging is the major reason which causes this issue. Very often, the clog forces the sump pump to recycle water which erodes and saturates land. It is also essential to direct the rain water away from the base to avoid creating hydrostatic pressure on the floor and base.

Most of the time, foundation issues reveal themselves in the form of foundation cracks on the walls and floor. Basement floor slab cracking can take place for a number of reasons. They are considerably thinner than the usual one or the sub rock base may be slimmer than thought. Heaving also leads to cracking.

Unworkable doors and windows, warped glass panes and gaps in the top or bottom of the doors and windows can lead to leaks. Having doors and windows stick are foundation problem symptoms. When the foundation settles differentially, sticking doors and windows can be really troublesome.

A lot of drywall cracks are seen in the corner of doors and windows which occur because of differential motions between drywall and frame. It can also occur because of the shrinking and expansion of the wood frame.

Homes with crawl spaces lead to recurring damages. Usually, some vertical cracks in the crawl opens and closes occasionally. Because of their shallow nature, they grow significantly during heavy rains and droughts.
