Warning Signs

Interior Walls – Cracked sheetrock, wrinkled wallpaper and gaps between the walls and molding can be signs that there are problems with the foundation.

Doors – If your doors have cracks at the corners of their frames or swing or stick when opening and closing, it is usually due to foundation problems.

Windows – Sticking or binding sashes can be caused by stress distorting the window frame. Broken panes can also be caused by foundation related stress. If the frame is distorted, cracks will appear at the corners of the wall around it.

Floors – Uneven or sloping floors, sliding furniture or dips in the floor could be attributed to foundation problems. Squeaky floor boards may also be caused by foundation problems; however, that is not always the case.

Exterior Bricks – Flexing of the slab can cause broken bricks and cracks in the mortar. As the bricks shift, gaps also appear in the fascia boards.

Foundation – Shrinking or swelling of the soil underneath the foundation can cause cracks in the slab.

Patios and Porches – Cracking or sloped floors are often signs of problems with the foundation.
