Residential Foundation Settlement Repair
Simply put, foundation settlement is the term used to describe a building or house that has gradually sunken lower into the ground below where it was originally constructed. When this happens, your home can suffer a multitude of structural damage, and at worst, could possibly even collapse. Foundation settlement can also lead to basement water issues or problems with a crawl space.
Differential settlement – Foundation settlement doesn’t always take place at the same time throughout the home. When different areas of the foundation settle at different rates, this process is called differential settlement.
Uniform settlement – Conversely, when settlement throughout the building or home happens simultaneously, this process is called uniform settlement.
Repairing or mitigating foundation settlement yourself is not recommended due to the importance and difficulty of the task. If you find that you have foundation settlement issues, it is recommended that you contact a reputable contractor that specializes in foundation settlement issues and with a professional engineering background.
Deska Services has professional engineers on staff for the specialized expertise required when it matters most.
Problem Signs
The problem signs of foundation settlement are generally cracks in your basement or foundation walls. The type of cracks and how they are positioned is the best indication that there is a problem.
