Warning Signs of Foundation Failure

There are several warning signs that there may be a problem with your foundation. Walk around the inside and outside of your building and look for indications of foundation problems:

• Cracks in drywall
• Doors and windows stick
• Spacing between a door or window and its frame is inconsistent
• Floors slope
• Cracks in the floor or tile
• Basement floor is sunken
• Basement leaks
• Stair step cracks between bricks
• Gaps between brick and window or wall frames
• Foundation wall cracks

Any of these signals may indicate foundation failure. Call Gibbs Company today to schedule an analysis.
