Signs & Causes Of Foundation Damage
Foundation damage is a serious problem for homeowners, as it poses risks to the structural integrity of the home and potentially decreases its value. So, it’s very important to detect the signs and causes of foundation damage early on to avoid costly repairs in the future.
Here are some of the signs and causes of foundation failure:
Signs Of Foundation Damage
The stability of any structure hinges on its foundation. So, when the walls or floors begin to crack very subtly, it’s often the first visible sign of potential foundation damage looming beneath the surface. Here, we address a few signs causing foundation damage:
- Cracks in walls, ceilings, and floors
- Sagging or uneven floors
- Sticking doors and windows
- Bowing or leaning walls
- Gaps between walls, windows, or doors and their frames
- Water intrusion, particularly in basements and crawl spaces
Causes Of Foundation Damage
Several factors cause foundation damage, such as soil shrinkage, poorly compacted fill soil, and expansive clay soil. Additionally, excessive moisture or poor drainage systems can lead to soil movement and foundation settlement. The most common causes of foundation damage include:
- Expansive Clay Soil: This soil type expands and contracts with moisture, putting pressure on foundations.
- Drought Conditions: It causes soil to shrink and foundations to settle unevenly.
- Heavy Rainfall and Flooding: It erodes or saturates the soil surrounding a foundation.
- Temperature Fluctuations: They cause the soil to freeze and thaw, eventually causing the ground beneath the foundation to shift.
As a locally owned and operated Kansas foundation repair company, we understand the weather and soil conditions. Our certified foundation experts always start by figuring out the root cause of any foundational problem in your home. After that, we will use the right products and repair methods as per your situation and stabilize the foundation back to normal.
Repair Foundation With Steel Piers & Helical Piers In Kansas
We use expert foundation repair techniques like steel piers and helical piers. In ideal conditions, helical and steel piers last for over 100 years. So, depending on the soil conditions around your home’s foundation and the weight of the structure, we use the correct piering method that works best for your home.
- Helical Pier: We install a helical pier by screwing helices into the soil to create a secure connection between the foundation and the load-bearing stratum beneath. We often use this method to repair sinking or settling foundations.
- Steel Pier: During steel piering, we hydraulically drive the steel piers into the ground until they reach bedrock or another stable layer of soil. Once they are in place, these piers are lifted slightly to restore the original level of your home. We use this method to support the weight of the house and stabilize the ground.
Our steel pier and helical pier are long-lasting, minimally invasive, and affordable foundation solutions.
