Problem: Leaning Walls
Leaning walls can be a hazardous problem in your Atlanta home. You may notice leaning walls in your basement near floor or wall cracks, and sticking doors and windows are commonly associated with leaning walls as well. Leaning walls are often caused by too much pressure from expanding or shifting soil. It is important to have a professional team, such as Atlas Piers, inspect these walls instead of trying to support or repair them yourself. Leaning walls often signify a much bigger problem, such as a sinking foundation, and unless you look at the bigger picture, the problem will continue to get worse, even after the wall is supported.
