Foundation Checks: Ensuring the Stability of Your Akiya

Writer's picture: David LakeDavid Lake



The foundation is the backbone of any home. Regular inspections are crucial for identifying issues early and preventing structural problems.


Signs of Foundation Problems


  1. Cracks: Large or growing cracks in walls or floors may indicate shifting.

  2. Uneven Floors: Sloping or creaking floors can point to foundation instability.

  3. Sticking Doors or Windows: Difficulty opening or closing may result from foundation shifts.


Inspection and Maintenance Tips


  • Annual Checks: Hire a professional to assess the foundation’s condition.

  • Drainage Systems: Ensure gutters and downspouts direct water away from the foundation.

  • Repair Cracks Promptly: Address minor cracks before they worsen.
