If you’re hearing the term “house leveling” for the first time, you might be imagining bulldozers crushing your home’s structure into a pile of unrecognizable rubble. But this kind of deconstruction isn’t what house leveling is. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
What Is House Leveling?
Far from deconstructing your house, the goal of house leveling is improving the stability of the structure. In places like Louisiana, where the ground is especially damp and soft, foundations can sink, leading to a strained structure as part of the house shifts lower than the rest. Without prompt house leveling, this can leave you with problems like
- Cracks in your walls
- “Soft” or uneven floors
- Cracks in concrete floors
- Foundation cracks
- Doors and windows sticking from misalignment
House Leveling to the Rescue
If you’re seeing these signs of a sinking foundation, house leveling can be the solution, protecting your home from further damage. House leveling raises the foundation of your home to be level and even again, removing the strain from your home’s structure and installing proper support to prevent further sinking in the future.
