How to Identify Foundation Issues in Basements and Crawl Spaces

Basements and crawl spaces are often the first areas where foundation problems become noticeable. Detecting these issues early can save homeowners from costly foundation repair and protect the integrity of the entire home. Understanding the signs of trouble in these spaces allows for timely action. Here’s how you can recognize potential foundation problems in your basement or crawl space.

1. Cracks in Basement Walls and Floors

Cracks in the walls or floors of your basement are common signs of foundation damage. While small, hairline cracks may result from natural settling, larger horizontal cracks often indicate pressure against the foundation walls. These larger cracks may signal serious structural issues that require professional foundation repair services. Be mindful of widening cracks or those that allow water to seep into the basement, as they often point to more severe problems.

2. Bowing or Bulging Walls in Crawl Spaces

In crawl spaces, walls that bow or bulge are a clear indicator of foundation stress. This often happens when soil pressure builds up against the exterior of the foundation, causing the walls to push inward. If left unaddressed, this issue can worsen, leading to the need for more extensive foundation repair. It’s crucial to consult a professional to assess the extent of the problem and find an effective solution.

3. Moisture and Water Damage

Excess moisture or standing water in basements and crawl spaces is a common sign of foundation issues. Water can enter through cracks or poorly sealed areas, leading to mold, mildew, and wood rot. These conditions not only weaken the foundation but can also affect indoor air quality. Before seeking foundation repair services, it’s important to address moisture problems with proper drainage and sealing to prevent recurring damage.

4. Uneven or Sagging Floors Above the Crawl Space

Uneven or sagging floors above a crawl space can indicate foundation issues. This problem typically occurs when the supports in the crawl space shift or settle unevenly, causing the floor above to become unstable. A professional assessment might reveal the need for slab foundation repair or reinforcement of support beams to correct the issue.

5. Musty Odors or Mold Growth

A musty smell or visible mold in your basement or crawl space is often a sign of excess moisture due to foundation problems. When water enters through cracks or poorly sealed areas, it creates an environment where mold can thrive. Addressing this issue with timely foundation repair can prevent further damage and improve the overall air quality in your home.

The Importance of Timely Foundation Repair

Addressing foundation problems in basements and crawl spaces early is crucial for maintaining your home’s stability and value. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage, such as structural instability and higher repair costs. Consulting a foundation repair company at the first sign of trouble ensures that the issues are resolved before they escalate, keeping your home safe and secure.

Conclusion:

If you notice any of these warning signs in your basement or crawl space, it’s important to schedule a professional inspection. A trusted foundation repair company can identify the root cause of the issues and recommend the best solutions to keep your home stable and protected. Taking action early can prevent small problems from turning into major concerns, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family.

Charles: and how do I contact you in the future?

Johannes: you don't 🌟 bye you soggy bitch ✨️🕺✨️🕺🟨🟨🟨

#and then you barely see him for the rest of the game #the sinking city #coolhatposts #man i would have loved to be able to visit johannes's house! maybe you go there to discuss a case or catch up or whatever #i can totally see a dramatic parlor scene playing out that could give a lot more foundation for future story events #and maybe you can just visit his place sometimes and read philosophy books or something. maybe he rotates a couple books out for charles #on a table or smth and you can go read it #or maybe it's excerpts from lovecraft!!#GOD you guys do you see what i mean there's so much to add to the game #Johannes is fascinating as a character but then we only see him like. three times max #and at least one of those times he's probably dead #i just think it makes sense for charles to seek company with the only person he knows in the city a couple times before the plot starts #picking up. i could see maybe they have two or three dinners/drinks with Important Conversations #but i do think it's a wasted opportunity not to have johannes be more involved. he's the player's window into the upper class weird shit #in oakmont. he's our connection to a secret society and he knows graham and i would bet money he knew about the cannibal restaurant #GOD as soon as I'm done w the project I'm working on I'm gonna be replaying and writing SO MUCH you guys #never been a writer before but I'll make it happen #the possibilities are too cool to ignore #please please please someone else start posting abt tsc I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE THERE. I KNOW ME AND LOVELYHEADS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES W IDEAS

love how I get mildly tipsy and suddenly I'm like "what if I wrote job 38 fic about sleep no more, that sounds like something that literally anyoen but me would get something out of"

#cw:#christianity #where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare if thou hast understanding #have the gates of death been opened unto thee?? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death???#hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all!#behold... I am vile... what shall I answer thee...#it's the bitchiest part of the bible and I actually kind of love it #and catching Fulton reading it gvies me a thousand emotions #fulton can bind the sweet influences of the pleiades but fuck if he knows what to do after that!!!!#this is what comes of being exvangelical and going to sleep no more tbh #but bitch you know that fucker's out here readin KJV I reefuse to believe it'd be anything else #KJ aka Duncan is dead on the floor and roaming the halls and Fulton is clinging (quivering) to his words #as Hecate laughs in her liminal hideaway #sinking royal boats in oceans of blood #fuckin love her

Y'know, on the one hand I don't regret burning bridges over matters of conscience and my greatest regret is just not having lived my principles better before then, but on the other hand there is something kinda surreal about it. Like man, just gone huh. Well. I guess there's nothing to do except try to be different in the future.

#rambling #in the past while I've spent some time thinking about how I comport myself and I don't like it.#I feel like I've been shown a mirror of my behavior at times and there are things in there that I want to change #because I don't want to just be a sink on others and I no longer believe bitterness can be a foundation for connection #and I guess I feel like if I changed before I can change again and it's worth it even if it's imperfect

the biggest sense of betrayal i ever experienced was one time when i, like, really deep cleaned my sink. got into all the grody little nooks and crannies got all the grime out until the whole thing was spotless. anyway, turns out that layer of grit and grease was the only thing keeping the SUGAR ANTS from staging an unprovoked land assault on my fucking dishes

#i got rid of them with baking soda #which immediately got gross and became the foundation for an new layer of sink grit #they have not returned but i know they’re watching #just waiting for a new weakness to be exposed

haircut today, can't wait for it to be short. it's also unfortunately over 100 out already and i am not looking forward to getting in the car in that T-T

#we're also... worried. we'll need to rebuild the house because it's been making creaking noises when i walk down the hall #and there's cracks on the eaves and walls and we're worried the foundation is sinking on one side of the house #i think we have a huge ant colony under the house since we get them everywhere and coming out of the vents and ceiling #so yea that's a concern now on top of everything else we got going on #enough so that blue was asking if i think we'd be able to pack everything up and move in with my grampa for a year #and if maybe we should just donate the stuff we were gonna sell at a garage sale next spring #so it went from 'huh that's worrying' to 'concerned....' in one night XD

also its so dumb that one of the arguments ppl have against a sims 5 is that theyve already invested too much money into 4. like yes its fucking scummy that ea charges so much for dlc and its Ludicrous the amt sims 4 costs if you have all the dlc and its going to keep getting more and more expensive but . to be honest . why are you paying for sims packs. im sry

#ik not everyone can pirate i get it and its your money do what you want #but itis your choice to invest so much into like. a sinking ship DJRNFJFNG. idk....#i want 2 be optimistic and believe that somehow they WILL be able to fix every single issue with ts4 #but i honestly believe thats require them to take an extended break from releasing new packs and shit #and i genuinely honestly dont think theyll do that. lol.#but like. i think itd be a good idea like. Cut down on new releases and focus on fixing the base game and then pack refreshes #bc itd be rly cool to have like. pack refreshes to make them more fleshed out #but also like. sigh. it rly does come down to the packs bc i judt genuinely find it kind of disgusting how little is in each pack #and how many of the packs could be consolidated #genuinely earnestly feel like growing together and parenthood shouldve been one pack. like. and honestly throw hsy in there...#hsy could do with a refresh Badd ik its fairly new but oh my god the school is so fucking buggy #and in general like. IDK. id rly love the packs to be refreshed and id love love love More fucking lots in the worlds oh my god. multiple #worlds have literally 4 lots. Thats fucking actually insane it makes me crazy #i get like. ooh bc you can travel between worlds the worlds can be smaller but i hate it 😭😭😭#i think its just bc i grew up playing 3 perhaps but like. i rly loved like. idk when i choose to play in a sims world i want to play in tha #world. i dont want to have to like. i live in moonwood mills (5 lots .) and thej i have to go to like. san myshunonif i want to go to a bar #or whatever. is there a bar in san myshuno idr #IDKIDK. i feel like Innnn my opinion there should be like. at least 1 of the basegame lot types for every world maybe with some exceptions #and there should be enough empty slots ppl can fill it out more if they want...#but also like. idk. i suppose it wouldnt affect me much bc i usually stay on my home lot as much as possible #bc of the loading screens #it wouldnt be so bad if like. idk. i understand why they didnt wanna do open world like ts3 #well i dont its fucking actually stupid. but i get that ts4 wasnt supposed to be what it is and it wasnt built to be a longrunning game.#hence why ts5 should happen instead as a Strong Foundation BUT WHATEVER but like. yk. and ik im not the only person in the world and other #ppl want different but i feel like maybe you could have options .. idk. im not a programmer #but itd be cool to have some sort of way to toggle between like. open world semi open world and closed world #where itd be like. ts3 style where the exteriors of everything r there but the interiors r loaded in when u visit (if that is how ts3 works #i may be a bit off) nd closed would be ts4 style Loading screen to go . next door #am i misremembering or are there even loading screens between like. the new apartments with forrent.... there were for the city living ones #skull Fuckk i ran out of space

Crimson Peak brainworms. Fucking again

#writing an essay in my head about how thomas by all accounts could have gotten out #he seems to be a talented inventor/engineer!! he could have gotten a real job #instead of digging and digging at the bloody foundation of the sinking family home #trying still to wring a life out of a dead thing that never loved him #because he could not leave lucille and she could not leave allerdale #.....anyway.#crimson peak

stay beautiful and gold rush are the same songs fourteen years apart. both about a near-miss with just the idea of something. but stay beautiful is optimistic and youthful and gold rush is by someone old enough to know better.

#I think I’ve seen this film before. and I didn’t like the ending #there’s pretty girls on every corner they’re watching as he’s walking home #everybody wonders what it would be like to love you #eyes like sinking ships #Cory’s eyes are like a jungle #you and I are a story that never gets told #the coastal town we never found will never see a love as pure as it #my mind turns your life into folklore #I LOVE how much of folklore and evermore is sooo deeply connected to her early work #you can say whatever you want about debut but it is everywhere it is the foundation for everything she’s created since #it is the beginning and all roads lead back to her #lyrics

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

These sobs really limited my tags?????

I have so many more thoughts this is so so much less than 1/2. Broski. Big dislike

#its ‘i watched a tv show and i need to talk about it in the tags of this site im not on anymore’ time #ty to the void for always accepting my thoughts <3 #so honestly its just me thinking about the andromeda tv show. i just finished it and it left me destitute bc i clung onto the first 2 season #s as a basis and had ten thousand questions i *assumed* would be resolved. spoiler alert: they were nto #not*. and the coda addition helps but like. not enough. it explains some of the #oh fyi if anyone is reading or cared there will be spoilers #anyways it explained some of them ex for the cosmic engine bit. seemed pretty relevant and then was never mentioned again #i also MUCH prefer that version of trance — i had speculation she was a sun avatar which i took as confirmation when i finally noticed her #tattoo when harper used it to remind himself he put that data in the sun etc etc but i much prefer the sun-as-consciousness-astral-poject-#ing-slash-dreamjng-itself-a-body / being a little devil. i think that feels much more true to what we got in worldbuilding early on and tbh #the bar is on the floor bc any explanation would be better than what we got. also im sorry but s5 i trusted SO hard that that whole virgil #vox bit in the finale was insulting. couldnt even tie up the loose end you invented at the last minute????? MY god. i understand getting you #r budget halved but like. broski. it would have been better to ignore it at that point imo.#anywhoodle. i also have just ISSUES w the lack of resolution & not doing justice to literally any character #listen. why would you sink SO much effort into tyr just to have honestly what i feel is a disrespectful end to that character. like #tyr required me to do a LOT of thinking bc i sympathized with his position in exile etc while thinking also bro thats real fucked up. bro #stop thats fuckinng e*genics again dude. tbh with the entire species (im not looking up how to spell that rn) bc like the foundation of #their entire race is e*ugenics. (sorry censoring bc im in the tags just venting about tv) which obviously is a terrible idea but i think the #so it was like i am fundamentally against the concept but in show universe theg obviously did it etc but for me provided such a huge like #context to the universe. i fundamentally am not on board with all the commonwealth stuff like yeah i get it the magog are bad and scary but #like the neitzcheans (sp??? idc) are also Right There bein scary. then theres the ‘enhanced’ debate re dylan beka etc that like. is the same #but ‘’different’’ i guess. 🙄 anyways that is just to point out like. the level of thinking this show put me through just to blindside me w/#no resolution. i had SO much hope. tyr selling iut to the abyss is disrespectful to all of the established work the actor did for him and #to the character as well even if i think the ideology is icky. he was shown to be even less and less self-centric survival guy as it went on #and also tbh i didnt understand the him stealing his kids dna thing. i really thought that was gonna gi in a different less bs direction #okay also while im here can i just say. that tyr and dylan had THE most romantic tension to me. everyone else felt very friendshipy and i am #NOT one to usually fall into a ‘they obviously should be together’ pipeline that the writers dont make themselves. but the back and forth (#and intense eye contact) had me sitting there like. it was made in 2000 i know they wont do it but for not doing it they sure did! not that #i think they’d make a good couple (they would not) but that there was definitely something there on the dl you know? something more than #‘mutual respect’ you feel? and tbh! they also ruined the tyr beka thing by making her the matriarch. big ew huge ick.

decided to beef up my annette mini and, while i was there, ditch the bulky and unnecessary belt and change up her pose a bit to be more "we can rule humanity together (and if you say no, i'm gonna crush every bone in your neck, slowly)"

#if she prints well tomorrow i'm gonna be SO HAPPY to have this horrid creature to menace XCOM #heroforge #xcom #annette durand #foundation paradox #28mm scale #for context i'm leaning way into her enthusiasm about killing aliens and being psychic from her voice lines and letting her be #the bombastic supervillain she deserved to be #in this weird spy-fi kitchen sink version of xcom

I am so high I love you dabs I love you big bong rips I love you huge heavy bong I love you only having 20 dollars to my name and no plans but getting high and ignoring it I love you oh no I’m thinking about it

#I want to take an ice cold shower and scream and smoke a whole pack of cigarettes and lock myself in a closet for 72 hours in the dark with #no distractions to figure out what I actually want to do with the rest of my life and to face every bad thought I have and struggle to #ignore even years later like ugh I just need to be at the bottom of the ocean floating sinking alive dead in between for like a month and #then pull me back up and either I’ll be normal or I’ll be so fucked up they just put me back in there #like either way I am vibing at the bottom of the ocean (I have been desperately imaging a sensory deprivation tank all day)#(put me in a fucking sensory deprivation tank until something in my fucking brain rewires and I get worse or better than I am now this #inbetween stage is fucking killing me like what do you mean I’m not a horrible person but also what do you mean I struggle every day but I’m #normal but I have things about me other people don’t and alienate me to the point of near total isolation but also this is just how humans #are and I need to take meds and actively struggle to fit into a perfect little box of what a person should be like god damn I am so tired of #getting better and worse and better and worse and better and worse and better and worse and I’m miserable and I’m happy and I’m sobbing and #I know a month from now I’ll be depressed again or I’ll be the best I’ve ever been and it’s so fucking horrible to be in the middle stage #where I actually have to step up and admit shit is wrong and face it like why can’t I just lay in bed forever until I become the bed and not #like get a job and have a future. ugh. depression is so fucked esp bc most things in my life are normal I guess or like easier than my #friends like we all have seperate challenges but I’m the only one still living off their parents (ha. parent. forgot for a second.) and the #only thing wrong with my life is the mental health issues but I won’t step up and deal with it bc I feel like I’ve been depressed for so #long I like fucked up the foundational shit and like I know it’s fine but also I feel so behind and I feel like I’ll be behind and unhappy #forever even when im happy I know the next depressive episode is right around the corner and I give up again. ugh. I hate knowing that’s #what’s wrong with me but still not having the energy to step up and fix it. im so pathetic I want to cry. my brain is me but my brain is #destroying my life. anyways. im high and now im sad and have dry mouth. I think im gonna drink ice water and change into shorts+lay in bed)
