The foundation is the load-bearing base of your home, and thus, everything above it depends upon it for stability. Over time, foundations can become compromised, whether they sink due to erosion or crumble due to poor-quality concrete. If this starts to occur, one of the first warning signs of trouble you can notice is a sticking door. If doors that normally close well are becoming harder to open and close properly, chances are that your foundation has shifted slightly. Don’t leave this red flag unchecked. Call our team for a free diagnosis and we will let you know if it was something minor like temperature changes and swelling wood, or something more serious that needs to be addressed.

Many people will see a sticking window as nothing more than a shift in temperatures that causes the window or its rails to slightly swell and get out of alignment. Sometimes, that truly is all there is to it. But other times, sticking windows can be the effect of a far more nefarious problem: foundation damage. When your foundation shifts, cracks, or crumbles, it will slightly move everything that rests upon it. These shifts will only be an inch or two, but this minute difference is enough to throw off the calibration of a window or door. If you are noticing window issues, call us to have a team member come out and diagnose the problem. We will let you know if the foundation is to blame, and if so, how to resolve it.
