The crumbling foundation on your home is just one sign that your foundation has a problem. It is important to regularly examine your foundation for other signs of foundation failure as well as a crumbling foundation. Some common symptoms of foundation failure are:
- Settling or sinking foundations
- Foundation cracks
- Bowing or leaning walls
- Wall cracks
- Sticking windows or doors
- Sloped floors
- Leaning chimney
- Porch or stoop problems
- Ceiling cracks
- Wet or damp crawlspace or basement
If you see any of these signs in your home, it is a good indication that your home is in need of foundation repair services. The foundation of your home may be crumbling or chipping due to excess water pooling around the foundation. If water is allowed to pool near the foundation of your home, it may seep into the porous concrete, weakening it and leading to concrete deterioration such as flaking, chipping, and crumbling. The concrete may also be crumbling due to age or improper mixing at the time it was poured. No matter what caused the concrete deterioration, it can lead to various problems, such as settlement, shifting, or cracking.
