SYMPTOMS OF FOUNDATION FAILURE

The signs of foundation failure do not become obvious until after there are serious problems with the foundation. The most obvious signs will be doors that do not close properly anymore, windows that stick and diagonal cracks in the interior and exterior walls (see Spotting Foundation Failure to read what cracks say).
Less obvious symptoms are small cracks in the foundation or floor and uneven floors. Your foundation repair contractor should be able to point out all these symptoms for you and should be able to provide you with a Foundation Failure Report.

Only through a complete inspection of the building structure will a contractor be able to determine the cause and best repair alternative for foundation repair.

Up-Rite Foundation will be able to help you identify the source of your foundation failure.
