Haunted Basement? It Could be Foundation Issues!

 Haunted Basement? It Could be Foundation Issues! - Image 1

Does your basement leak, creak, and groan? Before you call Ghostbusters, look for signs of structural problems with your foundation instead.

Beware These Signs of Foundation Problems

If you know where to look, spooky signs of foundation failure can be found all around your house both inside and outside and from top to bottom.

Cracks and Bowing Walls

One telltale sign of foundation failure is wall cracks and/or bowing walls in your basement. Not only do these cracks point to structural issues, but they also allow moisture to enter the basement.

Problem Doors and Windows

If your windows and doors refuse to open and/or close, don't blame the poltergeist just yet! Problem doors and windows can be a key indicator that your home's foundation is settling over time.

Large Exterior Cracks & Separating Chimneys

If your home looks like it's about to grow legs and run off to haunt the neighborhood, it might just be foundation settlement at work. A settling foundation can cause large cracks in the exterior of your home. It can even cause the chimney to separate from the home!
