If your home has a faulty foundation, problems like water seepage or shifting soils in the ground can lead to significant challenges with your flooring. If you notice potential flooring issues, such as uneven or cracked floors, it can be a sign of a worsening problem.
Interpreting Symptoms
Cracked basement floors may be an indication of water damage. The ground underneath your home is full of moisture, which allows water to collect under your foundation. Hydrostatic pressure builds and the cracks in your floor can force the water up into your basement.
Rotting wood or rusting steel columns can be a major concern for homeowners. As these problems may not always be apparent, they can become worse and cause a lack of structural support for your home. It is important to have a professional assess the situation before more dangerous issues arise.
