Do Not Delay!
So, you have already decided that immediate action is required in repairing your foundation’s cracks, holes, and cracks. But, after taking some measurements, you find that the cost of repair is much higher than the cost of building a new one. Instead of scraping up the money and starting a new foundation, you decided to put off the foundation repair. Will it affect something??
Delaying repair may have serious consequences, especially if your house is built on fill. So, bear in mind that delaying repair may cause further problems in your home with regard to foundations. Here are so some of the consequences of delay.
Further foundation cracks and problems
Have you seen an old house that has no cracks? Most probably, the foundation of these houses has been neglected for a long time, if ever repaired. It is because it is not fixed immediately when there are signs of cracks and problems. So, if you notice a piece of concrete missing, then the cracks on the foundation are already so much that you can’t even see it. If you don’t repair it right away, there is a chance that a lot of cracks will form.
A new structural problem will arise
If you delay foundation repair, then the foundation is already so damaged that there is already a high possibility that it is already beyond repair. The concrete foundation is there to support the main structural components of your home, especially the walls and the floors. This is to ensure that the house does not collapse on itself and that it can withstand earthquakes and other natural disasters.
Your home will start to sink further
If there are already cracks on the foundation and you still wait for them to grow bigger, then your house will slowly sink further. This problem can be addressed by repairing the cracks and then having the foundation poured with grout. This will help to bind the cracks and prevent them from growing bigger.
