Top 10 Signs of Foundation Problems
Is your foundation cracking up? Below are the top 10 signs of foundation damage:
1. Cracks in your bricks and mortar
2. Cracks in your interior walls
3. Water stains on your interior walls
4. Wrinkled wallpaper
5. Gaps between walls and molding
6. Cracks or sloped floors in your porch, patio or sidewalk
7. Sloping of interior floors--watch for furniture that moves on its own!
8. DOors or windows that stick when you open them
9. Chimney cracking or leaning
10. Large sinkholes in yard
If you are seeing any of the above signs in your home, it may be time to get a foundation professsional (usually a structural engineer) out to check your home
and implement repair damage. And, remember, your foundation is a bit like your car: the longer you put off a repair, the more it's going to
cost you.
