INSIDE
Inside, keep an eye out for cracks of any kind. Cracked sheetrock, floorboards and tiles are always causes for concern. Stubborn doors and windows that refuse to open or shut also indicate a potential problem.
OUTSIDE
The outside of your home can also offer evidence of foundation issues. Check the foundation of the home, as well as bricks and siding, for cracks. Also, look for gaps around doors and windows.
GARAGE
The garage can also show deformation when foundation problems are present. Be on the lookout for cracked bricks, warped walls and any separation between the garage door and ground.
BASEMENT
Because your basement is closest to your foundation, it’s often the first area affected. Check it for cracked or leaning walls and any possible flooding.
