  1. 5 Reasons To Take Good Care Of Your Home’s Foundation

  2. Essential for helping to preserve not just the beauty and functionality of your home, but its value, maintaining all areas of the property appropriately is hugely important, and this includes the foundation. As a significant area of maintenance for any homeowner, problems with a property’s foundation can present a real financial burden, and if passed on to potential homebuyers, could mean that they’re able to buy a home for as much as 20% less than other similar properties in the locality. Read on to discover 5 reasons why caring for your home’s foundation, makes a lot of sense:

  3. 1. It prevents cosmetic damage While some cosmetic damage is exactly that: cosmetic, other types of damage that can clearly be seen with the naked eye can go on to cause further, bigger problems. Foundation problems are often caused by shifting, which in turn, goes on to create cracks in both walls and floors, not to mention ceilings. Such cracks and impurities will undoubtedly deter potential buyers from investing in the property as it could imply that the structure of the building has been compromised, or is at risk of becoming so. By caring for your foundation and maintaining it appropriately, you can prevent cosmetic damage.

  4. 2. It can reduce safety concerns If your home has uneven floors or a wonky staircase due to a shifting foundation, this could be another factor that deters potential buyers, especially as it presents a very real safety risk. Avoid any unevenness in your home by caring for its foundation.

  5. 3. It can positively impact the results of a home inspection Many potential buyers hire home inspectors to carry out a survey of a property before theybid on it, and if there are any issues with the foundation, these are likely to be raised within the report. Buyers can then request that the foundation be fixed before closing on the deal, or if the homeowner is unable or unwilling to repair the foundation, the buyer may well back out of the deal altogether. Foundation issues are always best prevented, but if you spot an issue anywhere with it, fixing it right away can ensure that your home gets a clean bill of health from a home inspector.

  6. 4. It can impact the value of a property Foundation issues can be costly to repair, and as mentioned previously, if a buyer is aware of the problems that will ultimately need to be fixed, they are highly unlikely to pay the full asking price for a property. Caring for your foundation isn’t just good for your home, but can help you sell it for a good and fair price. 5. It can make your home easier to sell Again, as we’ve touched upon in the points above, a home with any kind of structural issues will never sell as quickly, or at such a high price, as other homes that don’t have issues with the foundation.

  7. The minute you notice any kind of issue that could be linked to your home’s foundation, it’s best to have it thoroughly inspected by a masonry contractor, who will go on to determine the best course of action. Pretending foundation issues aren’t there, or failing to maintain your home to a reasonable standard, will only ever cause you problems, and likely, end up costing you more, too.
