Is it safe to stay in a home with foundation problems?

• <div><p>It’s usually not an immediate safety risk to live in a house with foundation problems, but you don’t want to let those problems persist. Most foundation issues don’t lead to a house’s sudden collapse, but they can lead to health issues like mold growth and pest intrusion, as well as problems like uneven floors or rotten beams and joists, which can pose injury risks and be costly to fix.</p></div>

Can foundation issues cause ceilings to collapse?

• <div><p>Yes, foundation problems can cause ceilings to collapse or even your whole house to crumble. Left unaddressed, natural sinking can build up and eventually harm your home’s supporting structure, such as walls, beams, and frames. Your basement ceiling may be the first place to look for signs of a ceiling collapse caused by foundation problems. </p></div>

Q: Can a block foundation be fixed?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fix a block foundation. It&rsquo;s important to address the issue immediately and have a foundation repair professional understand the severity of the issue and determine the best course of action. If the wall collapses before the foundation is repaired, then you&rsquo;ll have to reassess your entire foundation.</p></div>

Q: What are common concrete issues requiring repair?

• <div><p>Cracks, spalling, uneven surfaces, and weather damage often necessitate professional repair or resurfacing.</p></div>

Q: When should you walk away from foundation problems?

• <div><p>Foundation problems are costly to repair, but if you already own the home, you can either handle the issues or allow the property to (literally) sink into disrepair. The opposite is true when buying a home. Walk away if the seller refuses to lower the asking price once foundation issues are exposed or if they refuse to handle the problems before the completion of the sale.</p></div>
