Foundation Repair in Iowa

The last several months have been dry in the great State of Iowa.  As the water evaporated out of the soil, and the soil slowly dried it pulled back away from the foundation.  This has allowed many foundations to settle.  How do I know if my foundation has settled?  Well, some very simple and easy tests would be, 1) check the dry wall around the window frames and the door jams. Do you see any stress cracks in the drywall near the corners?  If so, possible settlement. 2) Check your windows.  Open them and close them to see if they stick.  Sticky windows could be possible foundation settlement.  3) Go around the house and check the interior and exterior doors.  Like the windows if the doors are pinched and stick when opening and closing, there is a possibility of foundation settlement.  The next step is to have your property inspected and evaluated.  Our evaluations are free.  If there is foundation settlement, then some kind of foundation repair is needed.
