Foundation Repair - Cracks in Ceiling and Other Signs of Foundation Settlement in Fisher, IL
This Fisher, IL home was having issues with foundation settlement. Cracks in the ceiling, like the one shown in this picture, as well as cracks at the edges of doorways and gaps above doors that cause them to stick are signs that the foundation is settling. When soil around the foundation gets wet and expands, contracts when dry or was poorly compacted at the time the foundation was built, it can settle and bring the foundation with it. If the foundation hasn't settled uniformly, it can cause separations and cracks. The settlement problem only gets worse with time and it will become more costly to repair the damage the longer it is left. Woods recommended Push Piers when a home has these kind of foundation issues.
