Structural damage to the foundation of a home can be one of the worst circumstances that can occur to a homeowner, aside from the house catching fire. The foundation is what holds the house and all of its structural elements together, which is why it must be designed and protected properly in order to protect the integrity of your home. When the integrity of a foundation is compromised, it is usually because of water and damp soil under the foundation, which causes the foundation to fluctuate and lose durability. The source of the vast majority of foundation problems is water. Wet soil beneath a foundation can swell or lose strength. Besides exulting damage to your foundation, water can also seep into your basement floors and be a catalyst for mold and water damage to your property, which can can cause significant repair costs.
With all of the snow that residents throughout the Hartford, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts area that we received last winter, we were contacted many times by home and business owners with issues regarding flood damage from cracked foundations.
