7 Reasons to Fix Your Foundation

You should fix your foundation because…

The problem will get worse. Simple as that.  A foundation problem never gets better on its own—only worse.  And as it gets worse over time, it will cost more and more to fix it.

The resale value of your home will increase.  Nobody wants to buy a house with a foundation problem.  If you don’t fix your foundation problem now, your home will be worth less and less as time goes on.

You want your home to have a nice appearance.  Foundation problems usually cause large, ugly cracks in both the interior and exterior of the home.  Your home is your largest investment, so you want it to look nice, right?

Your doors and windows will operate more smoothly.  As your foundation settles, your home may bend or twist, causing doors and windows to stick and jam.  This can be frustrating, especially when the problem is repairable.

You will have more usable space in your home.  Oftentimes, foundation problems can cause you to be unable to use certain spaces in your home.  You paid a lot of money for your home, so shouldn’t you be able to use every available space?

Critters like cracks in your home.  Insects and rodents can get into your home through cracks in your foundation, and nobody wants that.

It’s the safest thing to do.  Even though it is a rare occurrence, it is possible for foundations to collapse, chunks of brick to fall off the home, or other serious safety hazards to occur.  Keep you and your family safe by solving the problem before it becomes this extreme.

You’re going to pay for it whether you fix it or not.  Why not spend a little more to repair it correctly first rather than having to pay for damages on top of repairs later on?
