Signs and Symptoms

Pronounced floor slopes can be an indication of a structural problem that needs attention.

When you see a gap between your floor and interior walls, it typically means that the floors are moving downward while the walls struggle to maintain their connection with the ceiling framing.

When concrete slabs settle unevenly, often large cracks are likely to form.

Interior wall cracks typically appear where walls are weakest – near doors and windows.

If your floors sag or are “bouncy”, it’s likely there is an issue in your crawlspace.

When a floor sinks, openings become out of square, causing windows and doors to jam.

One of the most visible and dramatic signs of foundation settlement is a chimney separating from the house.

Water-saturated soil can sometimes exert enough pressure to cause foundation walls to bow, bulge or tilt.

When a foundation settles, it often does so unevenly which can result in stair step cracking.

Shift and expansion of concrete streets and unpredictable movement cause cracking in the driveway.

Sagging garage door frames are usually caused by a lintel that was too weak to begin with or has corroded and weakened over time.
