4 Common Signs Of Foundation Issues  

Sticky Doors

Have you noticed that your interior doors seem to be sticking because the bottom drags? Do your exterior doors hang unevenly with one top corner sitting higher than the other? If either of these issues lasts longer than a few days and is not the result of humidity due to a heavy rain or flooding incident, it can indicate a foundation problem.

Gaps Around Windows & Doors

Gaps around your property’s windows or exterior doors could indicate a serious foundation problem. Some doors with gapping issues will no longer latch, and windows may not operate correctly at all.

Excessive Moisture in Basement

If your basement or crawl space seems to allow in moisture, your foundation could probably use some repair or waterproofing services. Excessive moisture can cause a whole host of problems, so it’s important to pay attention to any indications of it in your foundation.

Separating Cabinets & Counters

Foundation issues can cause many indications that your walls are no longer level. If you notice that your counters or cabinets are beginning to separate themselves from the walls, this could indicate a foundation issue that is causing serious structural problems.
