Save Yourself Time As with anything else in life, neglecting an existing problem will only make things worse moving forward. The same goes with foundation repair. As the ground begins to shift under your home, extensive repairs may be necessary. If time goes by without the problem being addressed, this shifting could affect your walls, floors, and ceilings. In cases of a large scale repair, you might even have to leave your home while those repairs are made. Your Home’s Value will Increase Making foundation repairs could significantly increase the value of your home. A home with foundation damage will devalue a home’s value by roughly 10-15%. Home buyers want to know that the house they're purchasing won’t be in need of any drastic repair, and are willing to pay much more for a house that has been well taken care of. Stay Comfy! Foundation issues in the home can cause discomfort and aggravation as well. Many things such as floors become uneven. Windows and doors can become stuck due to the house shifting and settling in place. Prevents Flooding Having a sound foundation also prevents flooding! An unstable foundation can oftentimes cause problems with a house’s plumbing, resulting in flooding of basements and water damage. Foundation repair many times includes the installation of a sump pump to safeguard a home from future flooding issues. Keep your lawn Looking Good Curb appeal is very important to the value of a house. Home-buyers want homes that look safe. Visible foundation cracks, poor drainage, and other problems caused by soil erosion can turn off even the most motivated buyer. Your Peace of Mind Spend time with friends and family, finish your to-do list, sleep, eat, and relax with the peace of mind of knowing that your house is safe, comfortable, and stable for you and your family. You will also be prepared to sell your home if or when the time comes! Don’t wait until it’s too late to make these necessary repairs and risk spending hundreds or thousands on projects that could have easily been prevented.
