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.
