Cracked Foundations
When you are experiencing cracked foundations in your home there are a few possible causes. House foundation problems are common and fortunately, many can be corrected by our licensed specialists. At Future Foundations, we would be happy to provide a free evaluation to determine the actual causes of your cracked foundation and share the best solutions for you.
When are foundation cracks serious?
Spreading cracks are a sign of damage and instability in your foundation. Unfortunately, cracked floor foundations could be just the beginning of a more extensive issue if left untreated. Much of the foundation surface is covered with flooring or underground, making it difficult to know what is going on beneath the surface and out of sight.
​
Cracked foundations can lead to framing issues, roof issues and problems with your doors and windows sticking. Correcting the foundation and structural problems are important to prevent long-term issues that will worsen with time.
Warning signs to look out for
It can be difficult to see signs of cracking and damage to your foundation but be on the lookout for interior and exterior signs of visible cracks. Want an expert option to give you peace of mind? Contact Future Foundations so we can check your concrete foundation thoroughly.
​
Some signs to look out for include:
​
-
Sagging or wavy roof
-
Gaps forming between the floor and the walls indicate that your flooring is sinking or sagging
-
Chimney leaning away from your house
-
Rubbing or sticking doors and window
-
Cracked or loose floor tile
Professional solutions for your cracked foundation
Sinking and cracked floor slabs can be lifted, set, and repaired with the right tools and skills. As a certified installer of CHANCE foundation products, we will recommend their helical pier system. This is the go-to solution as it provides your home with permanent stability and structural integrity. Helical piers lift, set, and hold damaged slabs in place by transferring their weight to competent, load-bearing soil below the frost line. This solution gives stability and peace of mind.
