When a person suspects trouble, they should examine the foundation and look for obvious issues. They can have a repair expert do an inspection.<\/p>\n<p>When professionals like 58 Foundations work with clients, they will choose a foundation repair method based on why the foundation has cracked.<\/p>\n<p>Two common methods that may be used are hydraulic jacking or slab jacking. The ultimate goal is to stop the cracking and give the structure the support that is needed to keep the occupants safe and comfortable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signs_of_Foundation_Repair\"><\/span><strong>Signs of Foundation Repair<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are signs that you can look for that would indicate that a home is dealing with foundation issues. It is important to recognize that all foundations settle. However, when this settlement is extreme or uneven, problems arise.<\/p>\n<p>There are interior and exterior warning signs you can look for. When examining the exterior of your home, you may see displaced moldings, cracked bricks, wall rotation, and cracked areas in the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>You may also notice separation between the walls, windows, and garage doors. When looking at the interior of the home, warning signs include cracks in the floor, misaligned windows and doors, uneven floors, and cracked sheetrock.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_Foundation_Repair\"><\/span><strong>Causes of Foundation Repair<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Water causes most damage related to foundation issues. Moisture can cause the soil to shrink or swell, which leads to movement under the foundation of the home. Homes that are especially susceptible to foundation damage include those that were built on expansive clay, those built in areas with poor drainage, and those that have extensive tree roots growing nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Other causes of foundation issues that lead to <u><a href=\"https:\/\/58foundations.com\/foundation-repair\/structural-foundation-stabilization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foundation leveling<\/a><\/u> and repair could be a flood, drought, or earthquake that has compromised the structure. The home may have extensive plumbing leaks or be located in an area with extreme seasonal changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foundation_Repair_Methods\"><\/span><strong>Foundation Repair Methods<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Normal foundation settlement can lead to hairline cracks. These are usually not a cause for concern. However, they should be monitored.<\/p>\n<p>Professionals will determine the best repair method based on the cause of the cracks. When correcting smaller slabs of concrete, slab jacking is often used. This method involves pumping a cement grout through holes that have been strategically placed in the concrete slab. This grout will solidify and provide the right support.<\/p>\n<p>Hydraulic piers are often used for larger foundation problems. This involves placing mechanical jacks and beams in strategic areas to level the home and prevent further damage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cracks do not always require foundation repair. Crack size, cause, and other factors are considered when professionals determine the best repair method for cracks that need to be addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It can be nerve-racking for a prospective home buyer or homeowner to see cracks in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6859,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1232],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Foundation Repair - How to Fix Foundation Problems<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It can be nerve-racking for a prospective home buyer or homeowner to see cracks in the foundation of a home.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webtechmantra.com\/foundation-repair\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Foundation Repair - How to Fix Foundation Problems\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It can be nerve-racking for a prospective home buyer or homeowner to see cracks in the foundation of a home.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.webtechmantra.com\/foundation-repair\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"WTM - Technology, Business, Finance, Digital Marketing\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/webtechmantra\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-08-10T12:28:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-02-25T11:26:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.webtechmantra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foundation-Repair-How-to-Fix-Foundation-Problems.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"608\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Web Tech Mantra\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@webtechmantra\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@webtechmantra\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Web Tech Mantra\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.webtechmantra.com\/foundation-repair\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.webtechmantra.com\/foundation-repair\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Web Tech Mantra\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.webtechmantra.com\/#\/schema\/person\/c26fbe297d817255a12e5fab6fddb124\"},\"headline\":\"Foundation Repair &#8211;
