If your foundation has problems like cracks and settling, here are seven reasons why you should fix these issues today:
1. The problem will get worse
A foundation problem never gets better or corrected on its own—only worse over time. As it does, it is going to cost more to fix.
2. Resale Value
Buyers are competitive and don’t want to purchase a home with a structural foundation problem.
3. Appearance
Both exterior and interior foundation problems can often be an eyesore.
4. Door and window operation
As your foundation beings to fail to hold the house where it should be, your house sinks, settles, and moves—this causes doors and windows to stick and jam.
5. Water intrusion
Foundation cracks allow water in, or at the very least moisture (water vapor), which can damage your living space in a variety of ways.
6. Safety
Foundations collapsing, chunks of brick veneer falling off of the house, and other serious safety hazards can and have happened.
7. Unwanted Pests
Insects and rodents can get into your home through cracks in your foundation, becoming uninvited house guests.
