Although it’s one of the lowest points on your home, the foundation is a critical part of your structure that must stay in good condition to keep your building safe and usable. Regular inspection and foundation repair in Edmonton is the best way to keep it in top condition.
Cracks and Separations on Outer Brick Walls or the Visible Foundation
Checking the outside of your home for areas that are separating due to a foundation problem is easier when it’s made of brick or stone, but it’s also noticeable with other materials. Cracks in the foundation or missing concrete chunks is a sure sign you need to have a few repairs. Have the foundation inspected anytime you notice an unusual lean in the foundation wall or a droop to any portion of your building.
Basement Flooding Following Heavy Rains
A basement normally takes the brunt of the cold weather without much complaint. The cold and exposure to moisture can begin to produce cracks you might not notice until water begins to pour into the basement after heavy rains. Cracks can be repaired and get your basement dry once again.
Doors and Windows That Refuse to Open or Close
If you suddenly find that your windows and doors are beginning to get harder or nearly impossible to open or close, you could have a problem with your foundation. Is the problem isolated to one part of the home? Call in experts for foundation repair in Edmonton that can diagnose the problem and fix it right away. Don’t put things off until you suffer a foundation collapse.
Repairing small problems and damage with your foundation is the most proactive way to avoid the thousands of dollars it takes to do major repairs or replacement. Call Eilers Construction and Consulting a foundation repair expert as soon as you notice a problem.
