Foundation SettlementFoundation settling usually starts out as a small problem and grows into a bigger problem the longer it is left without repair. What signs can you look for to know if foundation settlement is an issue for you?
Foundation CracksPerhaps the easiest sign of a problem are foundation cracks in the walls. The cracks can be seen in a wall on the outside of the home, you may see cracks in walls inside the home, or you can see problems in your flooring like wood panels coming loose. You may even see a foundation floor crack if you pull up your carpet or if you have a basement. You may notice a concrete crack in the basement or on a sidewalk outside. And of course they may be cracks you can even see because objects are in the way or the foundation crack has just begun to form on the inside of the wall.
Difficulty Opening Doors or WindowsIf your doors or windows become more difficult to open and close (or you simply cannot open or close them) and you see no other cause, it could be because the foundation has settled.
Uneven FloorsIf your floors a sloped, your foundation may have settled. We had one client whose floor was so severely sloped that she had to use her body weight to get her screen door closed. She had to pull on the door so hard to get it opened that eventually the handle broke off the door.
Older Homes- Hidden ProblemsDid you know that homes that are more than 10 years old, that were perfectly built can STILL have foundation problems? It is difficult to predict where soil is going to adjust to over those 10 years no matter how well the home was built. You can have a foundation inspection to determine if you have foundation problems.
No Basement? More ProblemsIf your home does not have a basement you are more likely to have foundation settlement than if you have a basement. Unfortunate news considering most of the homes in the Pearland area do not have basements. The footings of a home go deeper into the ground with a basement home; the ground is more stable the further down you go. So you are less likely to experience soil movement. BUT rest assured, folks with basements are confronted with this problem more often than they would like.
Single Story Homes- More RiskSingle story homes are more likely to have foundation problems than 2 story homes. Why? The 2 story home was originally built to withstand more weight.
