Houses need maintenance work from time to time.  One of the most common maintenance projects that houses have to undergo is house leveling.  The foundation over time in every home or house will eventually start to settle.  By settling, we mean that a house will eventually sink and shift further into the soil. This is all completely natural.   At times though, the settling process may have some unsettling effects.  In extreme cases the structural integrity of a home can become so compromised that the floors within a house can begin to slant or bow.  In these cases. homeowners would have to seek action quickly and seek out the skills of a company with expert house leveling experience.  Garcia J.

What are some signs that your house may need foundation repair?

• One way to test the floors of your home for slanting is by placing a marble on a floor and watching to see if the marble rolls downward and begins to picks up speed.

• Cracks on the walls within the house are usually a strong indication that a house has foundation issues.

• Foundation cracks are completely normal but you should be worried if you notice  horizontal cracks within the foundation. This usually indicates that the foundation needs to be repaired.

• The doors within the houses may start to stick because they are not able to freely open and close within the door frame.
