Is Your Porch Showing These Signs of Sinking?
The symptoms
Sunken porches are a telltale sign of deeper concrete or foundation problems that shouldn’t be ignored. If you notice your porch is tilting, separating from your home, or has visible cracks, these are all symptoms of a deeper issue. Recognizing these signs early prevents further damage and more expensive repairs.
- Noticeable tilt or slant in the porch, causing an uneven appearance.
- Visible gaps between the porch and your home’s exterior wall.
- Cracks forming on the porch surface or where the porch meets the house.
- Water pooling near the porch base, indicating potential soil erosion.
- Porch steps sinking or becoming misaligned with the rest of the structure.
- Difficulty opening or closing doors leading to the porch due to shifting.
Spotting these symptoms early can prevent extensive repairs and ensure your home remains safe and structurally sound. Don’t let sunken porches compromise your property’s safety and value. Contact LUX Foundation Solutions today for a free estimate.
