Are You A Home Owner In Freeport In Need Of Foundation Repair?

Freeport like most towns in the U.S. very often give little thought to the foundations of their home until there is a problem with it. It is completely understandable as most home owners think about their lawns, the exterior of their home and its insides, but the foundation is there, but rarely thought about. Here we will discuss some of the things that can go wrong with a foundation and the problems it can cause.

Being on the west coast, Freeport is subject to periods of ferocious storms that bring with it an overabundance of rain and water. And yet, at other times periods of drought occur. This can cause a lot of action with the land around the foundation of the homes there.

When storms dump heavy rains and water in the area, the ground cannot easily absorb it. This causes a swelling of the land and that puts a lot of pressure on our foundation. In time, the foundation will begin to crack or in some cases realign itself awkwardly. If this should happen there are several signs that should give you an indication that there is a problem.

If any interior walls begin to develop cracks or breaks, then there is a good chance it comes from an issue with the foundation. If you notice the ground is pulling away from the foundation, this too could be an indication something is awry. Additional signs can be windows that stick or become too loose. Doors may become difficult to open and close and may develop a draft that previously was not there.

If you find cracks or breaks in your foundation then it is likely a problem. Sometimes if it is only one of two and they are no more than a quarter inch around then this might be something you can fix yourself. But the key is to find what is causing the problem. If you fail to find the cause, then even if the current damage is minimal and something you can fix yourself, it is a problem that will return and continue to get worse until the cause is fixed.

Have you noticed the land around your foundation getting an accumulation or buildup of water? If so, then the land could begin to expand and put pressure on the foundation and this could lead to it cracking and breaking. On the other hand, have you noticed the land around the foundation becoming very dried out? If so, the land could contract and again cause damage to the foundation.

If you notice any of these signs you should immediately call an expert to look at it and determine if there are any concerns.
