Trouble Shooting
Foundation Movement
Movement or settlement can occur when soil conditions change due to swelling, shrinking or settling fill. This is considered a structural problem and should only be handled by a qualified experienced foundation repair contractor, such as one of our trained Abalon representatives.
Signs of foundation movement to look for:
Cracks in walls, ceilings or floors
Windows or doors sticking
Windows and doors are out of square
Cracked of uneven floors
Cracks in brick or stucco
Foundation wall bowing or buckling
Fireplace/chimney leaning away from the house
RECOMMENDATIONS
Preventative Action to Avoid Fundation Cracks
Swelling of shrinking soil can cause major problems. Our trusted team of Abalon technicians suggest some steps to minimize changes in moisture content:
Ensure eavestroughs and downspouts are in good working order
Extend downspouts at least 3 feet away from the house and preferably to splash pads
Slope soil away from house
Water soil around house at least twice a week in dry years
Water trees on the properties. Especially during dry years
Take care when moving trees, as it affects drainage
Do not flood flowerbeds
Make sure window well drainage system is working properly
If you have an underground sprinkler system or in-ground pool, check underground valves and joints regularly, as they can leak
