Uh oh. You may have noticed the doors in your home are sticking, or the
floors do not seem quite right. Those could be telltale signs that you
have foundation issues and may need house leveling and foundation
repair. Homeowners in San Antonio regularly have problems with
damaged slabs and weakened structures and must get them fixed as
soon as possible to avoid further damage and higher repair bills. For
something so simple as a concrete slab, it plays a crucial role in keeping
your home safe and sound. It is a good idea for any homeowner to
understand the basic premise behind house leveling. Here are some
things to know.

House Leveling Supports Installation
The foundation of a home provides support for everything else in the
building. If foundation repair is needed, then the house must be kept level
even during that repair. Arredondo will inspect your home’s structure to
create a plan to make sure your home is stable at all times during the repair.
We will install supports to hold the weight of the building while we work.
Since every home is different, where and how we install those supports will
be different for every home. House leveling does not have a one-size-fits-all
solution. Each building must be treated differently so that the foundation
repair is not only effective, but also long-lasting.

Rotting Wood
For many homes, extra support for the foundation comes from wooden
joists. Since moisture is a big culprit for foundation issues, it stands to reason
that it can affect these joists. When a joist fails because it has rotted, the
stress on the foundation can become uneven, causing a building to shift. The
more stress that is placed on one section of the slab, the more likely it will
be for that slab to fail as well. If we discover rotting wooden joists, we will
replace them immediately to prevent further and more expensive damage
to the home.

Shimming and Jacking
As we mentioned, there is not one simple solution for all house leveling
situations. Different strategies must be used for each building. In some
cases, we will lift the slab at certain locations, and install shims to keep
everything level. It is the same concept as putting something under a
chair or table leg to keep them from wobbling, except much more
effective. In cases with poor soil quality, shimming may only be a
temporary solution to keep things level while another technique is used
for a more permanent fix.

Prevention of Future Problems
House leveling will get your home back on its feet, so to say, but it is only
a permanent fix if steps are taken to prevent future issues. Make sure to
keep water away from your home. This means maintaining your gutter
system and inspecting for issues regularly. Standing water and moisture
are the biggest causes of foundation failure. Foundations do deteriorate
over time, so if you see any signs of trouble, contact us right away to
assess the situation.

UnderstandingtheBasics
The foundation is the literal base of your home. It is vital to have any
issues repaired as soon as possible after they are identified. Hopefully
these tips will make you more aware of what to look for and given you
some of the basics of house leveling so that you know what to expect if
yours needs to be repaired.
