Stepping into an old home is like stepping back in time, revealing history through its features. However, beneath the charm lies hidden foundation issues that can threaten your home's integrity. In this blog, we will discuss common foundation problems in old homes. Identifying these early can reduce repair costs and protect your home from aging. Safeguarding the foundation is essential for preserving your home's legacy. Causes of Common Issues with Old Foundations Foundation issues in older homes are not from unknown sources but are similar to those in newer ones. The only difference is that older homes have had more time to experience these problems, making them more prevalent. Hydrostatic Pressure Hydrostatic pressure, caused by poor drainage, can damage foundation walls by exerting pressure against them, leading to bowing and cracking. Differential Foundation Settlement Another prevalent issue in older homes is foundation settlement, which occurs when the soil beneath the foundation shifts or sinks, causing the foundation to move. This is known as differential foundation settlement and can lead to cracks and damage throughout the home. While some settling is normal, especially in the first year after construction, differential settlement is a problem that should be addressed promptly. Signs of Foundation Damage Now that you know the leading causes of foundation damage in an older home, it is time to learn the signs that this damage has occurred in your house. Below is a list of some of the most common signs of foundation problems: - Foundation cracks - Cracked walls - Leaning walls - Bowing walls - Sloping floors - Jammed doors - Stuck windows - Gibb cracks Hire a Foundation Pro You can make three common mistakes if you have an old foundation with one of the abovementioned issues. One is allowing the foundation to go unrepaired. The other is attempting repairs on your own or getting someone who does not specialize in foundation repair day in and day out.
