Over time, these environmental factors can affect residential foundations and contribute to water infiltration or structural movement.

- Cracks in foundation walls
- Basement water leaks
- Damp or humid basements
- Foundation settlement
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Doors and windows that stick

What causes foundation problems in New Waterford?
Foundation issues can result from seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, changes in soil moisture, natural settling, poor drainage, and water collecting around the foundation.

Not always. Water intrusion may result from drainage issues, waterproofing failures, or foundation cracks. A professional inspection can identify the source of the problem.
Can foundation settlement be repaired?
Yes. Depending on the cause and severity, several repair methods can stabilize a settling foundation and help prevent additional movement.
