How to Identify Foundation Settlement Issues

Settlement and sinking of your Tacoma foundation may not be obvious, but there are a few signs which you can watch out for. If you notice any of these, please get in touch with us at Matvey right away.

Stair-Step Cracking

If you have a masonry foundation, settlement problems may show up at stair-step cracks along the mortar, between the blocks. These look like a staircase, may be wider near the top, and can point to sinking or shifting.

Damaged Doors and Windows

As the foundation moves or sinks, it can cause your home’s framing to fall out of alignment, putting strain on doors and windows. You may also notice cracks along the corners of the structure itself, indicating a serious settlement problem.

Tilting or Separating Chimneys

Does your chimney look like it’s tilting away from your home or separating from the structure? Reach out to our Tacoma foundation settlement and sinking repair team right away, to avoid potential chimney collapse.

Cracks in Drywall

Around the corners of doors and windows, or along the seams of drywall panels, you may notice drywall cracks. There may also be separation or gaps in the drywall tape. These cracks could indicate foundation sinking, as well as possible crawl space sag or uneven floors.

Cracks in Concrete Floor Slabs

Your concrete floor slabs support your foundation’s structure, and floor cracks may point to serious problems. It’s a good idea to have any cracks inspected by our Tacoma foundation experts.
