What Are the Warning Signs of Foundation Problems?
If you see any of these signs, you could potentially have a foundation issue:
Interior
- Cracks in floors, walls, and ceilings
- Wallpaper pulling away from walls
- Gaps above kitchen cabinets
- Cabinet doors that won’t stay shut
- Doors and windows that won’t stay completely closed
These problems could also be caused by other issues, so the only way to know for certain is to schedule a home foundation inspection. It’s easy to add this to a home, pre-listing, new construction & warranty, or commercial inspection, or it can also be purchased separately.
Home Foundation Inspections
Our home foundation inspection is much more thorough than a visual inspection. We use a tool called a ZIPLEVEL® that takes digital measurements of the foundation.
- 1We establish a reference point by going to the center of the foundation and taking a zero-measurement reading.
- 2We then take measurements at various locations around the perimeter of the foundation and at other points on the foundation.
- 3This information gives an accurate picture of how level or out of level your foundation is, whether this is an acceptable difference, and provides a benchmark to use for comparison of future measurements.
- 4If remediation is needed, a structural engineer can guide you to your next steps.
