What Causes Foundation Damage?
Foundation issues often start small and grow slowly over time. While shifting ground and settling soil are common culprits, in some cases, the damage is in the wooden supports, beams, or subfloor systems surrounding it.
Common causes of foundation and structural damage include:
- Excess moisture or poor drainage around the home
- Fungal rot affecting wooden support structures
- Soil movement due to drought or heavy rain
- Termite or pest damage weakening framing materials
- Cracked or crumbling concrete footings
We evaluate both the foundation and any supporting structures to ensure nothing is missed.
What Does Wood Rot Under the House Look Like?
Wood rot under your house often shows up as discolored, crumbling, or soft wooden beams or joists. It’s often caused by consistent moisture exposure, which weakens the structural integrity over time. In some cases, you may even see fungal growth or notice a damp, earthy smell. We replace rotted wood and install moisture barriers to prevent future decay.
How Can Soil Movement Affect Your Foundation?
Soil movement caused by excessive moisture, drought, or poor compaction can shift and destabilize your home’s foundation. When soil expands or contracts, it can create pressure on concrete slabs or piers, leading to cracks and uneven settling. This process may also cause gaps in walls or sticking windows. Our team evaluates soil conditions and offers stabilization solutions that protect your home from ongoing movement.
What’s the Difference Between Foundation Cracks and Cosmetic Cracks?
Hairline cracks in drywall or concrete can be cosmetic, but larger, widening, or diagonal cracks often indicate foundation movement or stress. Cracks that accompany sticking doors, sloped floors, or separation between walls and ceiling are usually structural. We evaluate the size, direction, and location of cracks to determine whether they’re surface-level or symptoms of deeper issues.
