FREQUENT HOME FOUNDATION MISTAKES

As the popular idiom states, home is where the heart is. Your house is where you build unforgettable memories with your loved ones, where you relax after a long day, where you feel the most comfortable. It’s a reflection of your life and your personality. Yet, no matter how important your home is to you, it’s common to forget important responsibilities relating to its well-being. This is especially true when it comes to the home’s foundation.

IGNORING FOUNDATION ISSUES

We have mentioned it in previous blogs, but it’s important to remind homeowners that if they have seen any obvious issues with their foundation, they have to get it repaired as soon as possible. The most common mistake that we’ve seen people make is ignoring the problem. We promise you, it is not going to fix itself, it is only going to make the damage worse. We understand that paying for foundation repair might not be at the top of the list, but the longer you wait, the more expensive the necessary repairs will be.

PLANTING TREES CLOSE TO THE HOUSE

One blunder that homeowners make that can severely damage the foundation is by planting trees close to the home. Not only can the roots grow and directly damage the foundation, but they also require water. When the roots of the tree hog the moisture from the soil around your house, this will cause it to dry out, contract, and cause the foundation to shift or crack.

HOME RENOVATION WITH FOUNDATION DAMAGE

If you’ve noticed that your foundation is in need of repair and made the first mistake of ignoring the issue, don’t make matters even worse and decide to perform home renovations. Oftentimes, repair requires lifting the home which will damage certain interior structures as well as the plumbing. Not to mention the fact that if the foundation damage gets worse, the house may shift which will damage your recently finished renovations. Why do all of that work just to spend the money to do it all over again?

NEGLECTING THE BASEMENT
