What homeowners may notice
Foundation problems can show up in different ways. New or widening cracks, uneven floors, gaps around doors or windows, and doors that suddenly stick can have several causes. These signs do not prove a specific foundation issue on their own.
A qualified on-site evaluation should consider the building, soil and drainage conditions, where symptoms appear, and whether they have changed over time.
- Foundation settlement or movement concerns
- Cracks in foundation walls or masonry
- Sloping floors or changing door and window fit
- Water intrusion or drainage concerns near the foundation
