Do you have any windows or doors that require lots of tugging or get stuck often? Do they ever get jammed or leave cracks where air is leaking into your home? This is a sign of a foundation problem. Thankfully, it is an easy fix and usually does not require replacing any of your windows or doors themselves!

For your foundation education this week, I would suggest our foundation repair specialists as the experts of choice to resolve such issues in your home! It is vital that before you spend thousands of dollars replacing windows or doors, that first you make sure your foundation is not the culprit.

Your Windows and Doors Stick because of Your Foundation!

So how does a foundation issue affect a home's windows and doors? Oftentimes these problems are the result of a sinking crawl space foundation or foundation settlement.

Sinking crawl space: Most crawl spaces need more support and more efficient products to keep them in tip-top-shape. When a crawl space begins to lose its strength, it can sink and cause the above floor to sag. Our experts at Cantey Foundation Specialists will make sure this is in fact the source of your concerns. We install crawl space support jacks to repair the foundation. Our unique product resists corrosion!

Foundation settlement: All soil differs, which causes the home to settle differently, some parts of your home may shift while others remain in place. It's our job to identify these areas and install the appropriate foundation pier to stabilize your home. Once we do, your windows and doors will no longer jam up!
