How Droughts Can Affect your Homes Foundation
The thought of a drought in the Kansas City metro seems impossible with the amount of rain we’ve had lately. Usually, the weather in August is hot and dry, which causes the ground around your homes foundation to dry out. Our experts have listed a few signs your foundation may require some extra attention.

Signs That Your Home Needs Foundation Repair
Once the soil dries out, the soil will begin to shrink. This can cause the structure of the home to settle. You’ll notice if your home is settling by looking to see if you have any cracks in the drywall and foundation. You can also check doors and windows. If they are difficult to open, then you may have a foundation problem. Sound like your home? Don’t panic, give us a call! We can make your foundation stronger than it has ever been by simply fixing these problems with our foundation piers. Learn more about our foundation repair services.
