Foundation subsidence: what to do about it?

Rate this post

Signs to Recognize a collapsing house

There are several visible signs that can help you detect if you are facing a house sagging problem.
The main signs to look for are

  • The presence of cracked bricks
  • The appearance of cracks in the foundation
  • Doors and windows that don’t close properly or no longer close
  • The appearance of cracks inside the house
  • Cracks that crack your house or building

Cracked bricksCracked wall

backfill soil Indoor crack

 

Why is the floor of your house sinking?

In the Montreal area, there are many natural causes that can explain a house subsidence:

  • The strong presence of clay which can undergo strong variations in volume between periods of frost and drought
  • Dying of the soil and/or the water table
  • The presence of large trees on the property that dry out the clay
  • A new construction next door with a very deep basement that pumps water from the water table

 

What is the solution to straighten or stabilize your foundation?

If you notice signs of subsidence in your home, it is essential to call in an expert to analyze the situation in order to make a clear assessment and propose appropriate solutions.

During the visit, if a real problem of subsidence is found, the most effective and durable solution to stabilize and straighten your foundations will be the installation of foundation piles. These will support your house on the refusal (part of firm ground).
