Floor problems in your home aren\u2019t something to be ignored. While some cases may be chalked up to poor wood quality, moisture damage, or termites, many warped or cracked floors indicate a failing foundation.<\/p>\n
Just as the name implies, uneven floors are floors in your home that sag down in some areas. They may also squeak or bounce when you walk over them. Typically, this is a sign that something about your crawl space or foundation isn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n
If the floors in your home are sloping, meaning they aren\u2019t level, it\u2019s also a sign that either your crawl space or your foundation needs attention. Would a ball roll on its own on your floors? Are there areas of your baseboards that are no longer flush with the floor? These are signs that you have a sloping problem.<\/p>\n
Cracks in your basement (foundation) floor are typically a serious issue. Not only does this mean your foundation is failing, but it also makes your home more susceptible to excess moisture and water damage. Small cracks that never worsen are usually nothing to worry about, but anything that gets bigger, or leaks probably indicated foundation settlement.<\/p>\n
A settling foundation slab has the same effect as sloping floors. Your basement floors become unlevel and, in some cases, begin to crack. Ultimately, your foundation slab is directly affected by the health of your foundation as a whole. Foundation heave or settlement are both known to cause a settling, cracked slab.<\/p>\n
Foundation problems aren\u2019t always easy to diagnose. While uneven or cracked floors mean something is wrong, it\u2019s not always clear what the exact culprit is.

That way, we can figure out the best solution for your home before you invest in repairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What Your Damaged Floors Mean Floor problems in your home aren\u2019t something to be ignored.
