"Chris from JES was great when he came out to look at our basement and help us try to diagnose and solve our problem. He was friendly, informative, thorough. He listened to what I had to say and considered my ideas, went all around the house looking into every nook and cranny, spent a good deal of time talking to me about what he felt was happening and what should be done about it and why. He showed me pictures, drew diagrams, answered all my questions... I was impressed!"
Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in South Boston
Water Damage
Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.
Expansive Soil
Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.
Poor Drainage
Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.
Tree Roots
Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.
Plumbing Leaks
Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.
Climate Conditions
Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.
These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
