Here is a list of some of the most common foundation problems that may require foundation repair:

Floor cracks are a common foundation problem that occurs when the foundation settles or sinks. If left untreated, floor cracks can expand and grow, allowing leaks to occur.

Foundation settlement occurs when there are soil changes below the structure. When the soil can no longer bear the weight of the structure above it, it will heave and cause movement in your foundation.

A sinking or settling foundation is the most common cause of gaps or spaces. When the foundation beneath your home begins to settle, it can cause the walls in the house to pull away from the floors or ceiling due to the lack of support.

Sometimes, the masonry and concrete around your home deteriorate, also known as spalling. This occurs because of the freezing and thawing of water around your foundation or by frequent high-pressure washing or sandblasting. Water plays the largest and most dangerous role in this crumbling and chipping.

If a ball rolls down your floor, then you have sloping. Sloping floors are caused by foundation sinking or settlement. Foundation settlement is when there is a downward movement of a building or structure so that it is below its original position associated with the soil under your foundation.

There are many reasons your chimney can begin to lean, tilt, or separate from your home. Most of them have to do with problems in the ground around your chimney. Coupled with additional symptoms, a leaning chimney can be a sure sign of foundation failure.

Wall cracks are a common indicator that something is occurring in the foundation of your home. When you notice wall cracks starting to appear in your home, it usually means that your foundation is moving. The only good thing about these cracks is that they can actually be a hint of the problem you are experiencing.

Brick and Masonry problems usually are a result of settlement. Settlement of your foundation occurs when the soil around your foundation experiences shrinkage. It can also happen when soil was poorly compacted prior to the building of the structure. Shrinkage occurs when the soil is dry. It shrinks and pulls away from the foundation, leading to a lack of support for the foundation walls.

Problems with your windows or doors are often a sign that your foundation may be failing. Many homeowners blame sticking windows or doors on the humidity, but this problem could be caused by the settling or shifting of your foundation. If your foundation has started to settle, it may also cause cracks to develop around the doors or windows.

Foundation cracks are a prime warning sign of foundation settlement, which, left untreated, can turn into foundation failure.

Most foundation issues are caused by movement in the soil beneath the foundation. As the soil moisture content changes, the soil will shift and move. When this occurs, the foundation of your home will gradually shift and move as well.
