The shifting of your home can be subtle, and the symptoms can easily go unnoticed for months. However, taking note of the symptoms of a shift as soon as possible will allow for the best possible conditions to reverse the shift and preserve the foundation of your home. It is important to know what to look for when assessing your home and looking for potential symptoms of a shift.
Symptoms of a Shifting Home:
- Foundational cracks, which can be visible from inside the home, in the basement walls, or on the exterior of the home.
- Gapping between the building and chimney both internally and externally.
- Bowing walls, especially below ground-level.
- Sloped floors, which may curve downward in the middle of a room or at an angle toward any given wall.
To many homeowners, the symptoms above could be interpreted as the natural aging and wear of the home. However, this can be a misconception. Sometimes symptoms like a cracked foundation and other imbalances can indicate a more serious problem that needs to be addressed.
A shifting foundation can feel unsafe. Many homeowners worry that the value of their home is depreciating with every crack. Fixing a shifting home, especially one that has been left to deteriorate, often requires a myriad of expensive repairs. It is wise to fix this problem early-on before these costs begin to add up. Reinforcing the structure of your home is the best way to prevent further shifting and protect the integrity of your structure from any shift that has already taken place.
