When to Perform a Foundation Repair?

Foundation repair is a big decision and it can be difficult to determine when you really need it. If you are experiencing symptoms like cracked walls, windows, or doors that stick or won’t close properly floors that sag or bounce, sloping floors, plumbing leaks, drainage problems, or water in your basement then you probably have a foundation problem and should have a free inspection done by a professional foundation repair company.

If the foundation of your home is compromised, chances are the other areas of your home are not going to be in good condition either. It is important to have your foundation inspected by a professional if you suspect an issue because this can help you get ahead of the problem before more damage is done.

What can Cause Foundation Defects?

The cause of these issues can vary depending on the type of soil beneath your home. In some regions, clay expands when it is wet and shrinks when it dries out. This causes the soil to move around which can compromise the foundation of a home. Other types of soil can also cause problems. However, clay causes the most issues due to its ability to expand and shrink.

It may seem like foundation repair isn’t something that should be done immediately. After all, no one likes spending money on problems they don’t have yet. However, this isn’t the case. Foundation repair should be considered an emergency.

What is the Cost for Foundation Repair?

The cost of repairing your foundation will depend on how severe the damage is. Foundation repair Dallas experts often use hydraulic jacks to lift sagging floors and underpinning piers to support sinking foundations. If you neglect needed repairs, these problems can get worse over time.

Neglected foundations can lead to structural issues such as bowing walls, which can potentially collapse under pressure from soil weight or water pressure. Other signs of damage include uneven floors, sloping floors, and leaking pipes inside walls.

Benefits of Hiring Professional Foundation Repair

The foundation is a crucial part of your home, so it’s important to keep it in good shape. If you’re buying a home with foundation problems, it can be tempting to skip the inspection or hope for the best. But this can have serious consequences down the road.

These four foundation repair benefits may help you reconsider hiring a professional:

 

A foundation inspection will give you an estimate of what the damage is, what caused it and how much it will cost to fix. This estimate can help you decide whether to proceed with the purchase.

Without an inspection, structural damage is likely to get worse over time, leading to more extensive and expensive repairs down the road.

Once you’ve identified problems with your home’s foundation and decided to go ahead with repairs, you’ll want to hire a licensed contractor who has experience in fixing foundations that are similar to yours.

Finally, if you’re not sure how extensive your damage is or how much work is involved in fixing it, hire an engineer or architect who specializes in structural issues.
