Gap at Floor
A gap has formed near the floor in this bathroom. This is a perfect spot for a lot of water to get in because it is at the bottom. Water wants to get flat and cracks like these give the water a way to get into the home and level out on the floor.
Support Column Pulling Away From Wall
This support column was likely not built as part of the basement wall. Therefore, the joint between it and the wall is a weak point and the column is pulling away as the wall settles behind it.
Interior Crack
Windows and doors are openings in the walls making them weaker and more likely to crack under pressure of a settling or bowing wall.
Water Marks Show Possible Leaking
Cracks and gaps in the foundation give the water that sits around the home the perfect area to get in. Water stains like these are an indicator that water is getting in through the gaps.
Horizontal crack
This horizontal crack is the prefect indicator that the foundation problems relate to settling. This happens when the bottom portion of the walls pulls with enough force to separate.
Stair Step Crack in Exterior Bricks
Parts of the walls that were built separately are weaker and more likely to show signs. Also opening in the walls, like windows and doors, are areas that can be impacts a lot by settling.
Push Piers Anchored
Push Piers are anchored to the footing of the foundation. They will take on the weight of the home in order to prevent future settling. They come with a written, transferable, life of the structure warranty. Once installed they are covered with dirt and the area can be landscaped, so you can forget they are there.
