Are you wondering if you need a foundation repair inspection? Some homeowners may not think about their home’s foundation unless there is a problem. In fact, most people wait until there is a serious issue before they take action, like not being able to get in and out of their front door. There are several signs that can indicate whether or not there might be an issue with your home’s foundation. So, if you have any of these symptoms listed below, please call a professional foundation inspector immediately for further evaluation. Otherwise, the damage to your home could get worse over time and cost you more in the long run.

Foundations play an important role in the structural stability of your home. If you are a homeowner, it is important to be aware of the signs that you may need a foundation repair inspection. By being proactive and knowing what to look for, you can save yourself time and money.

The 3 Foundation Repair Warning Signs you Should be on the Lookout For:

1. Cracks in Sheetrock 

Interior wall cracks can be a sign that your foundation has settled beyond normal levels, and can even occur in newer homes. While not all interior cracks are a result of structural damage, it’s important to have them evaluated by a foundation repair professional to determine the cause and whether they pose a risk to your home’s structural integrity. 

‍

2. Sloping Floors 

When you walk around your home does it feel like you are walking downhill? This may indicate that you have foundation issues. Another way to check if your home is suffering from sloping floors is to grab a ball and see if it rolls downhill when placed at one end. If it does, you have your answer.

‍

3. Foundation Cracks 

Walk the perimeter of your home and see if you notice cracks in your foundation. This could be a sign that your foundation is settling, so it’s important to get it checked out by a foundation repair professional as soon as possible.
