Louisville, CO Foundation Repair Services
The foundation of your home or business is the most important component of the entire structure. Foundations support buildings and ensure their structural integrity. When a foundation is damaged, the rest of the structure will eventually deteriorate. If you believe your home is suffering from foundation issues, the foundation repair experts at Van Matre Construction, LLC can help you inspect your foundation, diagnose the underlying problems, and implement the best possible solution.
Leading Signs Of Louisville Foundation Issues
There’s no one single cause for foundation issues. In fact, there are several different factors that can stress and wear down a foundation over time. Foundation issues can vary depending on the soil and weather in any given geographic area. Below are issues Louisville residents should be aware of.
Sinking Foundation
The ground in Colorado consists of three different types of soil: sand, silt, and clay. Water moves through these various types of soil differently. For instance, water moves slower through clay than it does through silt and sand. Water also moves faster through sand than it does through silt. The differences in permeability between these soil types causes shifts in the soil as water moves through. Soil shifts can weaken the foundation and cause it to sink. Fortunately, sinking foundations can be fixed with relative ease if addressed quickly. As time goes on, the foundation will continue to sink, which will require more repair work to correct.
Cracks In Foundation Concrete
If you have a new home and there are cracks in the foundation, you likely have a foundation issue. Newer foundations haven’t been subjected to the same wear and tear older foundations have experienced (yet). Cracks in a new foundation indicate an unstable foundation, which will need to be repaired.
Unlike newer homes, not all cracks in an older home are a sign of foundation issues. Small cracks in the foundation are to be expected. These cracks will arise as a result of years of wear and tear. Cracks that are larger in appearance should be inspected by a foundation professional. Large cracks in an older home can be a sign of an underlying foundation issue.
Climate-Related Foundation Issues
Louisville’s weather is a source of beauty for residents, but challenges for foundations. Like much of Colorado, Louisville’s climate would be considered semi-arid. Louisville receives an average of 18 inches of rain each year with 242 days of sun. The weather provides a lot of sunlight with very little precipitation, which can dry up the soil. Dry soil contracts and moves leading to foundation movement and cracks. Fissures are created as the foundation resettles with the soil. To reduce soil contraction and foundation movement, it’s important to regularly water around your home’s foundation in the summer months.
