FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do I know if my foundation is settling?
A: Common signs are cracks in walls, doors or windows that stick, or uneven floors. In Western Washington, shifting soils and moisture are usually to blame. If you’re noticing more than one of these issues, it’s worth getting us out for an inspection.
Q: What are the signs of foundation problems in a house?
A: Cracks along the floor or ceiling, gaps around windows or doors, and sloping floors are the big ones. Sometimes you’ll also see moisture or mold showing up near the foundation.
Q: Can small foundation cracks get worse over time?
A: Yes, and usually they do. A hairline crack today might turn into a structural issue in a few years. The sooner it’s checked, the more affordable the repair usually is.
Q: How much does foundation repair cost in Tacoma or Puyallup?
A: It depends on the problem. Some repairs are straightforward, while others need push piers or major reinforcement. We always give an honest assessment and options so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
Q: What causes foundations to crack in Western Washington?
A: Our soil is constantly shifting with rain, drainage issues, and even tree roots. Older homes also weren’t always built with today’s standards, so the mix of soil movement and aging materials is the usual culprit.
Q: Why is my crawl space damp or musty?
A: Most of the time it’s water or moisture seeping in from poor drainage or ventilation. Damp crawl spaces lead to rot, mold, and even foundation issues, so it’s worth addressing quickly.
Q: What happens if I ignore a wet crawl space?
A: The moisture will eventually damage wood beams and floor joists, and mold can spread into your living space. It’s one of those problems that only gets worse if left alone.
Q: How can I tell if my crawl space beams are rotting?
A: Signs include sagging or bouncy floors, musty smells, or visible dark spots on the wood. We can inspect and let you know if the beams need repair or replacement.
Q: Do I need basement waterproofing in Washington State?
A: If you’re noticing water seepage, mold, or dampness, then yes. Our rainy climate is tough on basements, and waterproofing can protect your home long-term.
Q: How do I know if my attic trusses are damaged?
A: Look for sagging ceilings, cracked drywall, or visible splits in the truss wood. Damage often shows up after heavy snow, roof leaks, or even poor original construction.
Q: Can attic trusses be repaired, or do they have to be replaced?
A: In most cases, trusses can be repaired and reinforced without a full replacement. We specialize in structural fixes that restore strength without tearing your roof apart.
Q: Why is my ceiling sagging in the middle of the room?
A: That’s usually tied to truss or beam problems. Over time, moisture or load stress can cause wood to weaken. It’s fixable, but best to catch early before it spreads.
Q: Do I need seismic retrofitting in Tacoma or Puyallup?
A: If your home was built before the 1980s, chances are it wasn’t built to modern earthquake standards. Retrofitting adds anchors, bolts, and reinforcements to give your house a fighting chance in a quake.
Q: How much does seismic retrofitting cost in Western Washington?
A: Costs vary based on the home’s size and condition, but retrofitting is far cheaper than repairing earthquake damage. We provide clear estimates so you know what to expect.
Q: Can you retrofit a crawl space or basement for earthquakes?
A: Yes. Many of our retrofits start in crawl spaces and basements because that’s where the structure is tied into the foundation.
Q: How fast can structural repairs be done for a home sale?
A: We work with real estate agents and escrow deadlines all the time. In many cases, we can prioritize repairs so your closing isn’t held up.
Q: Do you provide inspection reports for escrow or real estate transactions?
A: Absolutely. We provide written reports and can explain repairs in plain language for buyers, sellers, or agents.
Q: Are structural repairs covered by homeowners insurance?
A: Sometimes, but not always. It depends on the cause. Damage from sudden events may be covered, but long-term settling usually isn’t. We’re happy to walk you through what’s typical.
Q: How long do structural repairs usually last?
A: Done right, they should last the life of your home. We use methods and materials designed to be permanent fixes, not band-aids.
Q: What should I do first if I see cracks in my walls or floors?
A: Take pictures, make note of any changes over time, and give us a call. An inspection will tell you if it’s cosmetic or something more serious.
