Do you have foundation cracks in your Iowa home? Do you have water leakage in your basement? Droughts could be the cause. Droughts in Iowa are not only hurting crops and lawns, they are destroying your home’s foundation. Hot, dry soil conditions cause the ground around and underneath the home to contract and pull away from the foundation. This leads to shifting and settling over time. As homes settle, cracks form throughout walls and floors. Windows and doors become hard to close, and gaps form around windows. If you notice any of these signs, you may be experiencing foundation failure. Not only do cracks destroy the home’s structure, they are the main cause of water seepage. Water puddles, standing water, and water leaks in your basement are just a few signs of potential water damage due to small cracks. Drought-like conditions can also pose problems for garages, porches and other slab surfaces. To eliminate further damage, the best solution is to contact WCI Basement Repair.
