Foundation issues and failures are a common problem that we deal with here at Tar Heel Foundation Solutions. Numerous things could go wrong with your foundation, leading to problems in other areas of the home. You may not even realize at first that the underlying issue is a failure in the foundation. Failures in the foundation of your home can be quite dangerous and need to be taken care of by a foundation repair professional as soon as possible.
The symptoms of foundation failure can usually be discovered by a simple inspection of your home, either by a professional or on your own. Some more obvious signs are cracks in the foundation or walls or an uneven floor. If you notice that the walls appear to be leaning or bowed, this could also be an indication of an unstable foundation. Other less common clues may be doors or windows that stick or damp to wet basement or crawl space. These are all signs of a foundation that is failing.
The most common underlying issue in all of these signs is a foundation that is sinking or settling due to voids beneath the concrete slabs. Such a void is caused by shifting or eroded soil underneath the foundation. Soil may be prone to shift or erode if it was not compacted properly when the structure was built, if there has been a recent drought that caused the soil to shrink, or if excessive rainfall has washed it away.
