The Risks of Unprotected Homes

Cracked Foundations

When soil around a home’s foundation is saturated with water, it expands and exerts pressure against the foundation walls. This pressure causes various types of cracks, including vertical, horizontal, and diagonal fissures, each indicating different underlying issues. For instance, vertical cracks often result from shrinkage and are generally less concerning, while horizontal cracks can signify serious structural problems and immediate action.

Ignoring these issues can lead to progressive deterioration, potentially resulting in severe damage that could compromise the entire building. Water infiltration through cracks can cause further erosion, mold growth, and even insect infestations. Concrete foundation repair in Portland will improve the home’s structural integrity.

Cracked Foundations

Basements are inherently in danger to water due to their proximity to the ground. When heavy rain occurs, any deficiencies in the home’s drainage system allow water to seep in.

The consequences of flooded basements extend beyond immediate damage; prolonged exposure to moisture can foster mold growth and compromise air quality, posing health risks to the occupants. Setting up precautionary solutions will keep your basement waterproof, avoid mold growth, and protect your belongings.
