Your primary focus on your home are probably the parts that you can see, but what you didn’t know is that it is the part you cannot see which is the most important. Your home’s foundation plays a major part in keeping your home safe.
Wall cracks are major tell-tale signs of your home undergoing foundation settlement.
Some of the key problem signs for your home if you have foundation settlement are bowing walls and cracks on both on your interior and exterior walls. These cracks tend to be in stair shape form and are caused by two things: hydrostatic pressure and soil expansion.
Soil expansion is caused by the changing moisture levels in the soil due to the different seasons. The constant change between shrinking soil and expanding soil puts a great amount of pressure against the foundation of your home, which results in cracks.
The other cause is hydrostatic pressure due to large amounts of water that gather near your foundation and exhibit large amounts of force against your foundation.
JES Foundation Repair has three great solutions for all wall repair needs, so homeowners do not need to be in fear of their homes.

Wall anchors give your walls stability if they show signs of cracking and bowing. The Wall Anchors give the soil outside of your foundation stability, which helps create a pinpoint to brace your foundation walls. Helping stop all movement put against your walls, the Wall Anchors can also help move your walls back to their starting position in time.
