What Foundation Problems Look Like in Prairieville
Many homes in the Prairieville area are in newer subdivisions built on slab-on-grade foundations. Newer does not always mean problem-free. Soil on a lot is often reworked or filled during development, and grading, gutters and drainage may not perform the way they should once the yard settles and the weather swings from wet to dry.
Clay-rich soil expands when wet and shrinks when dry. On a slab, that can lift or drop one area relative to another, which shows up as cracks in floors, walls and brick, gaps at trim and doors that rub.
- Cracks across slab floors or at corners of doors and windows
- Stair-step cracks in brick veneer
- Gaps between baseboards and floors
- Water that stays near the slab edge after rain
- Doors and windows that bind in one part of the house
If Your Home Is Fairly New
Check whether a builder or structural warranty is still active before hiring a repair, and read what it covers and how a claim is made. Keep photos and dates of any cracks. If the warranty does not apply or has expired, a foundation inspection can still explain what is going on.
