Your home’s foundation is the silent supporter, the unsung hero. But just like any hero, it can only take so much before it cries for help. At Reed’s Remodeling of Murfreesboro, we want to make sure you catch foundation issues early before they morph into major structural problems. Here’s a guide to the warning signs your foundation might be sending:
1. Cracks in the Walls and Floors:Hairline cracks happen, but large, diagonal cracks on interior walls or stair-step cracks on your brick exterior are a red flag . These indicate foundation settlement, where the foundation is sinking unevenly.
2. Drainage Issues Around the Foundation:Poor drainage can put immense pressure on your foundation. Look for standing water near the house, clogged gutters, or downspouts that empty too close to the foundation . All these contribute to water saturation in the soil, which can cause the foundation to crack and shift.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to call a foundation repair professional like Reed’s Remodeling of Murfreesboro. We have the expertise to diagnose the problem and recommend the most suitable solution, ensuring your home stays safe and sound for years to come.
Remember, a stitch in time saves nine (and probably a lot of money on repairs)!
