Problem signs to watch for:

Foundation problems don’t occur over night. Often it takes years for signs of an unstable foundation to appear. These signs can form in many areas. Since all of the items to watch for are only possible signs of foundation problems, Perma-Pier Foundation Repair Company utilizes Stanley Compulevels or an industry equivalent to acquire accurate measurements to isolate any possible problem.

BRICK CRACKS
Brick is traditionally more rigid than the rest of the home and less likely to flex as the home shifts. The result often is cracks in the brick and mortar.

UNEVEN DOORS
As the foundation shifts, the walls and roof lines will shift as well causing doors to stick or separate around the seams. Repairing the foundation will often correct unevenness or displacement.

CRACKS IN WALLS
Cracks may appear in the sheet rock, wrinkles can form in the wallpaper and gaps may appear at moldings or in corners.

STICKY WINDOWS
As the frame of the home shifts with the settling foundation, the windows may become difficult to open, stick, or develop separations around the framing.

FRIEZE BOARDS/FACIA BOARDS
Since the roof line is directly affected by the settling of the foundation, frieze boards may separate in the corners and fascia boards will pull away.

SLOPING CRACKING FLOORS
Once the problem increases in severity, a noticeable sloping will occur as well as possible cracks and/or squeaking.
