Can Plumbing Leaks Damage My Foundation?

Writer's picture: Level HomeLevel Home

You would be surprised at how a simple leak can really cause major damage to your foundation if left untreated. Water is certainly a force you don't want to reckon with. It can loosen compacted soils, wash out supporting soils, and even dissolve certain types of soils. It is crucial to make sure your plumbing is in good working order to avoid major repairs to other parts of your home or structure. Out of all the foundation problems we see at Level Home, drainage is the cause for about 90% of the problems we find. Level Home even started an entire drainage division to help combat water issues from storm water. In the video you will see an AC condensation line that is discharged directly into this crawl space. The water has turned the once stable soils into mud, causing the crawl space support to sink. Anytime you have tens of thousands of pounds sitting on the ground, it's probably a good idea that it isn't sitting in mud!! A simple 10 minute repair to take this A/C discharge line outside, could have saved this property owner thousands of dollars in structural repairs. Keep an eye on your foundation and also your plumbing. This will ensure you catch the small problems at first sight rather than waiting until you have a large repair bill to deal with. If you are uncertain why things are moving, call Level Home Foundation Repair to day to get a Free Informative Evaluation of your homes unique situation.
