Why Fix My Foundation
Your entire home – and life – rests on the foundation of your house. A crack in your foundation is not only a problem with your foundation, but it can cause severe problems elsewhere in your home:
-
Structural damage
- To floors, walls and ceilings anywhere in your home
It Won't Go Away
A foundation problem will not fix itself. If you see a small crack in your wall, it will probably get larger. Patching with cement or plaster does not fix the problem, just the symptom – and then the crack forms again.
It Affects the Value of Your Home
Foundation problems must be reported when selling your home. Estimates for the amount a home with a foundation problem must be discounted range between 10% and 20%.
- Multiply the value of your home by 10% - that is what it costs if you do not fix your foundation
Comfort, Safety and Security
Putting your home back on a solid footing makes your home a better place to live.
Your foundation problem will need to be repaired at some point in time. The sooner you fix it, the fewer problems you will have and the more money you will save.
