Q: When should I be worried about foundation settling?

• <div><p>Foundation settlement should be a concern if you notice it happening suddenly and years after construction, if the settlement results in signs of structural damage in your home, or if it happens after a flood, nearby sinkhole, or earthquake. Some signs of severe foundation settlement that should prompt you to call a repair specialist include sloping or uneven floors, large cracks in your foundation, moisture issues or pest infestation in your basement or crawl space, and an uneven roofline.</p></div>

Q: Does cracked tile mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>Cracked tiles can mean foundation problems. Fortunately, most of the time, cracked tiles happen as a result of accidental damage. It is important to determine the cause of cracking to rule out underlying foundation issues. If your tiles were not damaged due to dropped items, heavy loads, poor installation, or inferior tile quality, and the cracks are spreading throughout your flooring and not limited to just one area, you may be dealing with foundation problems. These can include drainage problems and even foundation failure, so it is vital to call a licensed contractor to assess the issue and ensure your foundation is safe.</p></div>

Q: What does a bad house foundation look like?

• <div><p>While it can be difficult to identify a bad foundation at first glance, look for large horizontal cracks, discoloration, bulging basement walls, or signs of water damage. You may also see large gaps between the home and the foundation on the outside or signs of pooling water from a recent storm.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to fix cracks in the basement floor?

• <div><p>The best solution to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-foundation-cracks.htm">fix a foundation crack</a> in your basement floor depends on the underlying cause. If you just have hairline cracks from settlements that are no longer growing, the best option is to seal them with a crack sealant. If the cracks continue to grow, one edge rises above the other, or there are signs that water is getting in through the crack, a professional repair will be necessary. Depending on the root cause, your professional may employ foundation underpinning or some other type of stabilization, seal the cracks, or install a drainage system.</p></div>

Q: Can a house with a bad foundation be saved?

• <div><p>There are many actions that specialists can take to repair a bad foundation. However, just like a car, a specialist will determine whether the cost of repairs is worth it in the long run. In many cases, repairs to the surrounding property&mdash;such as regrading your lawn or addressing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-solve-yard-drainage-problems.htm">lawn drainage issues</a>&mdash;will also be necessary.</p></div>
