Did you know that sticking windows and doors could be a sign of foundation issues? Aside from the occasional expansion and contraction that happens during a change of temperature, your doors and windows should function with ease.
If you notice gaps around your windows or doors, or they become hard to open and close, this could be due to foundation settlement. This happens when the soil beneath a foundation is unstable. Foundation settlement often occurs due to factors such as excessive moisture from poor drainage, tree roots, or changes in the water table. In dry conditions, soil can shrink and create voids under the foundation, while in wet conditions, the soil can expand and push against it. Over time, these forces cause the foundation to shift or settle unevenly, affecting the integrity of your home.
When the soil beneath your foundation is unstable, it can allow for a multitude of issues to arise. It’s important to know the signs of foundation issues in order to catch them early. The earlier these issues are addressed, there’s a better chance to stabilize your foundation and save your home from further damage.
