A foundation inspection is an important step to take in maintaining the structural integrity of your house. Inspection by a professional foundation repair contractor will help to identify problems early.
If you are building a new house or remodeling your old house, you need to consider installing one or more egress windows in the basement or other areas where windows are necessary.
Uneven floors are often much more than a cosmetic problem. They are often a sign of a foundation problem. Overlooking sloping floors can result in serious structural damage to your home.
Egress windows provide a safe and easy way of exiting a house in case there is an emergency such as a fire. In addition to acting as emergency exits, egress windows also make it possible for natural light to reach the basement.
Basement air is usually stagnant. There is very rarely fresh air or air circulation. These larger windows allow you to open up and let the clean airflow. That makes the air in your basement healthier, and therefore, the air in your home healthier.
Waterproofing is the best way to protect your foundation from damage. Your entire home rests on your foundation. If you don’t take steps to waterproof your basement, you will leave it vulnerable to damage.
