Common Signs & Symptoms of Settlement

Are you experiencing difficulty opening or closing the doors in your home? Are you noticing cracks within the interior walls of your home? Do you have floors that are uneven, sagging, or sloping? These issues can result from aging and normal settling of your home, but they can also be symptoms and signs of more significant issues.

Cracks in Interior Walls

Cracks and separation within the joints, corners, and seams of the walls and decorative trim can certainly occur and to some degree can be expected. The separation and cracking can result from materials such as caulking and drywall joint component drying out. These issues, along with shifting within window and door openings, can also result from the wood framing materials changing shape as they age. However, these issues can also be a result caused by movement within the foundation of your home or business. 

As movement within the structural components (the foundation, the slab, and/or other supporting members) occurs, it can cause shifting within the wood framing members and, therefore, within the wall covering materials, decorative trim, etc. The interior wall crack in a home caused by structural settlement can vary in shape, size, and location. These cracks can be found within the seams of the wall covering materials and run within a straight path, but they often span diagonally through the actual sheetrock, drywall, or plaster material. The cracks and separation within the interior walls are frequently accompanied by nearby doors that do not properly operate.

Sticking Doors

As movement within the structure (the foundation, the slab, and/or other supporting members) occurs, it can cause door frames to move into a position that is no longer straight and square.  This movement within the door openings often makes it difficult to open and close doors with ease.  Shaving off or sanding down the top of the door, adjusting the strike plates, and/or replacing the door are usually just temporary solutions.  Instead, address the root cause of the problem, which is often the floor framing that is sagging or the concrete slab that is sinking.

If your doors are sticking within the doorframe, call the experts at Carolina Foundation Solutions to inspect your home’s foundation for settlement.

Sagging & Uneven Floors

Houses built in North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina are typically constructed using wood framing materials, many of which are built over crawl spaces. Within a typical crawl space, block or brick piers support the floor framing above. It’s not unusual to find areas throughout many homes where the floors are uneven or have settled. This is especially the case within older homes with sagging floor joists. This can be a result of natural deflection within the unsupported spans of the floor joists located between the piers, a result of heavy concentrated loads along the unsupported spans of the floor joists (such as heavy furniture), inadequate spacing of the masonry piers, undersized floor joists, or rotten/damaged floor joists.
