• Cause of Foundation Movement
• Pre-purchase Inspections
• Affects of Subgrade Plumbing Leaks/Insurance Claim Second Opinions
• Other Residential Structural Inspections, including wind/storm.
Here are six representative indicators of foundation movement:
(1) a typical crack at the corner of a window
(2) more severe cracks in the wall and ceiling above a door with a frame that is out of alignment
(3) a random crack through ceramic floor tiles
(4) a crack in a brick veneer
(5) a separation between wall panels below a gypsum board wall crack
(6) a crack in a front porch slab.
All of these are typical indications of foundation movement. The question that I answer for the homeowner is what specifically caused their foundation to shift, how to correct for that movement and how to reduce future movement.
Typical separation in crown molding with ceiling crack above
Typical wall cracks above a door
Typical separation between Frieze boards
