There are a number of things to be on the alert for:
- Outside cracks. These can only grow and develop leaks.
- Moisture. An odd smell or visible signs of mildew or mold are sure signs of a breach in the waterproof membrane.
- Crumbling. Concrete that has started to crumble will eventually give way under pressure.
- Interior cracks. If you notice cracks in the sheetrock or drywall, it could mean a larger problem. The foundation regularly contracts and expands with temperatures or shifting backfill. Once moisture finds a way to the interior, it does not stop.
- Water stains. If you have noticed water stains either by the baseboards, or near the ceiling, there could be a problem between the basement footings and foundation wall, or between the foundation and basement wall. In either event, this needs to be corrected quickly.
- Basement floor. If you see some change in the slope or level of the basement floor, like a dip where there wasn’t one before, this indicates a serious problem with the slab, walls and footings.
These are things that a foundation repair expert can detect and solve to keep your home solid
