Foundation Repair

It’s tough to find two words more frightening to the average homeowner than “foundation repair.” Plain and simple, people don’t like to think about having to pay for extensive repairs to the foundation –– and for good reason. In the worst case scenarios, foundation repairs can prove quite costly. The good news is, you’ve come to the right place if you want to learn about when foundation repairs are needed, how you can prevent them, and what you can expect from the foundation repair process.

Foundation Repair Warning Signs

At Brickworks we recommend that all new homeowners waterproof their basement. Water damage is extremely common and, if left unchecked, can cause major problems for you and your household. Unsurprisingly, an insufficient drainage system is often to blame for substantial foundation repairs. In addition, the soil underneath your home or an improperly laid foundation on a slope may also be to blame. With that in mind, here are a few things to watch out for in regard to foundation repair:

• Cracks in the walls or floors –– typically in the basement
• Doors and windows sticking or not opening
• Water in basement or crawl space
• Uneven floors
• Bowing walls
• Sinking walls or floors
• Drywall cracking
• Uneven walls –– sometimes not visible to the naked eye
