What are the Most Common Signs of Foundation Damage?

Cracks are one of the most common signs that a foundation has suffered an impact. This means that foundation repair should be considered immediately. When looking out for signs of cracks, you should use your sense of sight as well as your sense of smell. A major concern with small cracks is that they may be the entrance of an uninstalled pipe or drain and so should be checked right away. A sign of bigger cracks should therefore be looked out for as well.


Another of the most common signs that your foundation might be wearing away is mildew. Mildew is a highly toxic substance and so if you detect a heavy presence of this substance in your home then you should get it checked out immediately. In fact, mildew can make small cracks appear in different places around the home and can even grow in places where there are not actually foundation problems. If you do notice areas of mildew on plaster walls then foundation repair should be considered before the problem gets worse.


One of the first signs that can indicate structural problems is the discovery of excess moisture in the air. If you live in an area where the weather is hot and dry then this is a very common sign of foundation problems and will almost certainly require foundation repair work to take place. If you live in a more temperate zone then you may never even realize that there is any water accumulating up in your house until the damage has been done. It is, however, still worth checking out any such signs in your home for the sake of safety.


One of the first things that any good structural engineer will tell you is to look for signs that your foundation is being damaged. One of the most common ways of doing this is to check out for slippages on your foundation footer drains or on your house foundation repair foundation. These signs are easy to spot because they are easily seen by an eye - even if they aren't visible from ground level. The other common signs that a house foundation repair technician will most often come across during a foundation repair job are cracked or missing floor tiles, missing plumbing pipes or joints, or cracked foundation columns.


Structural engineers are also trained to look for any evidence of excess weight sitting on the foundation. In most cases, it is usually obvious when a foundation repair project needs to be carried out because there will be an excess of weight sitting on the surface of the building. If the foundation has not been completely poured then it will be quite obvious that some form of piers or bracing is needed. A qualified structural engineer should be able to identify all these signs and report them accurately so that you can decide whether to carry out a foundation repair or not.


Finally, a qualified foundation repair man will be able to tell you if you have a foundation settlement. Settling refers to any excess soil that has sunk down into the structure and this will often cause excess weight to put pressure on any joints or other parts of the structure. It is almost impossible to know what the exact causes of your foundation settlement are but in most cases, it will be down to poor foundation settling.
