Top 5 Signs Your Home Needs a Foundation Inspection
Your home’s foundation is one of its most critical structural components. When problems arise, they can quietly grow into major (and costly) issues. The key to protecting your home is catching early warning signs—and knowing when to schedule a professional foundation inspection.
At CJ Family Construction, we’ve seen firsthand how early detection makes all the difference. Here are the top 5 signs that your home may need a foundation inspection:
Cracks in Walls or Ceilings
Not all cracks are serious, but if you notice long, horizontal cracks or widening gaps in your drywall or plaster, it may be a sign your foundation is shifting. Pay close attention to cracks around windows, doors, and corners of rooms.
Uneven or Sloping Floors
Do you feel like you’re walking downhill in your own home? Uneven or sloping floors can point to a sinking foundation or shifting support beams. It’s especially concerning if this issue appears suddenly or worsens over time.
Foundation Inspection
Doors and Windows That Stick
If your interior doors or windows become difficult to open or close, that may not just be due to humidity. Foundation settling or shifting can cause frames to become misaligned. This is often one of the first noticeable signs of structural issues.
Gaps Around Windows, Doors, or Exterior Trim
Have you noticed gaps forming between walls and window frames? Or between your door and the floor? These separations often mean the structure of the home is being pulled in different directions—usually due to foundation movement.
Moisture or Water in the Basement
A wet or damp basement isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a warning sign. Water intrusion often results from foundation cracks, poor drainage, or shifting soil. If you notice mold, musty odors, or visible water stains, it’s time to act fast.
