Our dedicated team is here to address your concerns, providing comprehensive foundation repair solutions to ensure the stability and safety of your Fort Worth home.

What Causes Wall And Door Gaps?

The appearance of gaps between walls and doors can be attributed to various factors, with foundation issues being a common culprit. As the soil beneath your home shifts, contracts or expands, it can create stress on the foundation, leading to visible gaps. 

Additionally, poor construction practices, changes in temperature or inadequate support systems may contribute to these gaps.

Do Drywall Cracks Mean Foundation Problems?

Drywall cracks are often a visible symptom of underlying foundation problems. While not all cracks indicate severe issues, they should not be ignored. 

G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair specializes in identifying the root cause of drywall cracks, ensuring that repairs address both the cosmetic and structural aspects of the problem.

Signs Of Foundation Issues

Recognizing the signs of foundation problems is crucial for early intervention. Indicators such as uneven floors, difficulty in closing doors or windows, and visible gaps around door frames may suggest underlying structural concerns. 

  • Uneven or sloping floors
  • Difficulty in opening or closing doors and windows
  • Gaps around door frames or window sills
  • Visible cracks in walls or ceilings
  • Sagging or bowing walls

Our experienced team at G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair can conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the issues and recommend tailored solutions.

FAQs

What Is Foundation Repair?

Foundation repair involves the correction of structural issues within a building’s foundation. This can include addressing problems such as settling, cracks or unevenness. Common repair methods include underpinning, piering or slabjacking, which aim to stabilize and strengthen the foundation, ensuring the structural integrity of the entire building.

Professional assessment and timely repairs are crucial to prevent further damage and maintain your property’s value.

Can You Live In A House During Foundation Repair?

In many cases, residents can continue living in their homes during foundation repairs. However, the extent of the repairs and the specific construction methods employed can influence this.

Temporary inconveniences like noise, dust and restricted access to certain areas may be expected, but our reputable contractors will work to minimize disruptions to your daily life.

How Long Does Foundation Repair Take?

The duration of foundation repair depends on various factors, including the type and extent of the damage, the chosen repair method and the local climate. Minor repairs may take a few days, while more extensive projects could last several weeks.

It’s crucial to obtain a detailed timeline from your contractor during the assessment phase.

Should I Buy A House With Foundation Repair?

While it’s not uncommon to purchase a house with a history of foundation repair, it’s essential to assess the extent of the repairs. Obtain a detailed inspection report and consider consulting with a structural engineer to ensure the issues have been adequately addressed.

It’s advisable to proceed with caution and negotiate repairs or pricing accordingly.

Does Home Insurance Cover Foundation Repair?

Home insurance typically does not cover foundation repair caused by normal wear and tear. However, if the damage is a result of a covered peril — such as a sudden plumbing issue — your insurance may cover the repair costs.

It’s crucial to review your policy and consult with your insurance provider for specific details related to foundation repairs. You can also reach out to us for financing options!
