Prospective homebuyers have to take many things into account when they begin to look at homes for purchase. People's tastes vary and each individual must choose the style, type, size, and features that they prefer while making their decision. A universal factor that individuals must examine and consider is the condition of the home's foundation. A cracked or damaged foundation can absolutely be a "deal-breaker" when it comes to buying and selling a new home.

Foundation problems can present serious issues for homeowners. Although some issues may not seem major and may not have immediate effects, a cracked or damaged foundation can often result in problems with the home and may cost the homeowner significant amounts of money to repair. Cracked and damaged foundations may cause serious structural damage to the home and may eventually make the structure unsafe for people to live in.

Signs of foundation problems often include:

How to Identify Foundation Problems

·         Visible cracks on the exterior of the home's foundation. Minor "hairline" cracks may not be a significant sign of foundation problems, but significant cracks should be a serious cause of concern.

·         Vertical cracks on the interior walls running from top to bottom

·         Cracks on two adjoining walls are a good indicator of broken footing below the structure

·         Issues with sticking doors or doors that will not remain closed and latched

·         Window issues including cracks around the corners and hard-to-operate windows.

·         Drywall cracks and visible cracking near corners and flooring.

Before purchasing a home, it is recommended that potential buyers have the home inspected by an experienced home inspector. It is possible that homes without visible foundation issues may have hidden problems that are not visible upon cursory inspection. If a home has significant foundation problems, prospective buyers may require the property owner repair the foundation before purchase.

Structural engineers are typically called if a home has serious foundation issues. The engineers can often diagnose the source of the issue and can propose potential repairs to fix the problems. If you have any doubts regarding the condition of a foundation, it is important to deal with the issue immediately before the problems worsen. Foundation problems often become progressively worse over time and can cause damage to other parts of the structure if left unattended.
