Leading Foundation Repair Services Melbourne

Cracks in Walls and Floors

One of the most visible signs of foundation distress is the appearance of cracks. These can manifest along the walls, especially over doorways, windows, or where walls meet ceilings. Floors can also show signs of stress through cracking, particularly in tile or concrete. While small hairline cracks can be normal due to settling, larger gaps indicate more serious shifts in your foundation.

If you notice doors and windows becoming difficult to operate, jamming, or not closing fully, it might be more than just weather effects. This can signify shifting in the building's structure caused by foundation movement.

Uneven or Sloping Floors

An uneven floor is a telltale sign of foundation issues. If you feel a noticeable slope when walking across a room or see visible dips and rises, it’s time to call in the experts. Sloping floors often indicate that the foundation has shifted significantly.

Gaps Between Wall and Ceiling or Floor

Gaps where your walls and ceilings meet or between walls and floors can suggest that your foundation is moving away from the rest of the structure. This separation is a serious indication of foundation distress.

Unexplained dampness in the basement or crawl spaces can be a symptom of foundation problems. Water seepage can occur when there are cracks or gaps in the foundation, leading to potential mold and mildew issues.

If you can see your foundation material crumbling or flaking, this deterioration could indicate that the structure's integrity is compromised. This damage is common in concrete and stone foundations and can lead to more significant problems if not addressed.
