Even if you can’t see your foundation itself, you will be able to see the signs of foundation failure. Cracks might form in basements floors or walls. Doors and windows can start to stick. Your chimney may tilt.
Basically, the stability of your foundation affects about every other part of your house.
If any of these problems sound a bit familiar, it might be time to get a foundation assessment. Foundation Repair can be a scary concept, but if the underlying problem isn’t fixed, the symptoms are only going to get worse and more costly to fix in their own right.
Barring poor construction of the foundation itself, the cause of foundation failure is usually what the foundation sits on, the soil.
Whether the cause is active soil or poorly compacted soil or soil weakened by erosion, the soil is not providing a stable base for the building to sit upon.
Therefore, we need to create that base. We often do this through the use of helical piers or push piers.
With foundation piering systems, we either drill (in the case of helical piers) or sink (in the case of push piers) the piers down until they reach a stable enough strata of soil. Once we do that, the piers are attached to the building by brackets and once the system has been tested the load of the building is transferred onto the piers.
When you think of a crawl space, you probably imagine a dark, damp area beneath a home.
While the dark part is a given, it is the damp part that can cause problems.
Moisture issues can cause a host of problems. Moisture can cause everything from a musty odor seeping into your home from the crawl space to mold growth that could cause or inflame respiratory issues. If the problems are bad enough to cause wood rot, your floors might sag and develop a spongy feel.
If this happens, you need a two-pronged solution: First, you need to fix any structural problems water has caused in the crawl space, either using piers to support floor joists weakened by wood rot or, if the rotting is too severe, completely replacing the joists.
Second, you need crawl space encapsulation to ensure the problems don’t recur. Crawl space Encapsulation utilizes a puncture-resistant vapor barrier to seal off your crawl space and prevent moisture from entering via the ground or walls.
If you have been noticing problems caused by moisture in your crawl space, or want to prevent any from occurring in the future, contact our crawl space experts at Tar Heel Foundation Solutions.
