Warning Signs of a Damaged Foundation

Categories: Foundation Repair, Home Maintenance

Q: What are some top warning signs that water has damaged my foundation?

A: Water pooling around your foundation is one sign. Downspouts dumping water right next to the foundation is another indicator. While both can cause serious issues, other signs need immediate attention. Call a professional right away if you see stair-step cracks or horizontal cracking in your brick or block foundation, or excessive moisture and efflorescence in the block.
