Foundation Solutions for Drought-Damaged Homes

The stories, and the signs, are being reported all across the Midwest. Homeowners are noticing cracks in the walls of their home, windows and doors are getting stuck, gaps between ceilings and walls are visible, even floors are tilting, and rooms and decks are sinking.

All of these ‘unwelcome’ signs are indications of foundation problems due to the severe drought conditions being experienced this year. In extremely dry conditions, soil shrinks and pulls away from the foundation causing it to move. That shifting can cause structural damage to basements and crawl spaces as well as the upper floors of a home. Areas where bricks and mortar are used in the home, such as fireplaces, are especially vulnerable because the excessive weight of these materials causes more stress on the foundation.

With immediate attention being the best course of action, wise homeowners are seeking repairs once they suspect a problem.
