How to Tell If Your Home Has a Structural Problem 

You can prevent minor structural problems from becoming major issues if you know how to identify them. Structural damage can compromise the safety and integrity of your home, making it essential to recognize its early warning signs. 

Here are some common signs that your home may require structural repair:

• Cracks in walls and ceilings. Small hairline cracks are common, but larger cracks, especially those that run horizontally or diagonally, can signal a structural issue.
• Uneven floors. Floors that slope, sag, or feel spongy when walked on often indicate structural problems.
• Doors and windows that stick. Difficulty opening or closing doors and windows can be a sign that your home's frame is shifting or the soil beneath the home is settling.
• Gaps around window and door frames. Gaps or separations around frames can indicate movement in your home's structure.
• Bowing or leaning walls. Walls that appear to bow or lean inward or outward are a serious sign of structural damage and sometimes foundation movement.
• Water damage. Persistent water stains, mold, or mildew can weaken structural components, leading to significant damage.
• Sagging roofline. A roofline that sags or appears uneven can indicate problems with the underlying structure or signs your foundation is settling.

If you’ve noticed any of these issues around your home, reach out to United Structural Systems. Our structural repair services in Knoxville can identify the underlying causes of these problems and correct them with long-lasting solutions. 

Why Is My Floor Sagging? 

Sagging floors is a common problem for homeowners in Knoxville. Floors can sag when a home experiences wood rot or settling soil, which are in turn caused by excess moisture. Knoxville’s climate is subtropical, and the annual rainfall is typically greater than the national average, making homes in the area more susceptible to moisture retention and the various issues it causes. 

We can help you repair a sagging floor by adding support beams, sistering joists, or replacing any wood damaged by rot. If moisture is the culprit, we can improve drainage around your home, install a sump pump and encapsulate with a vapor barrier in the crawl space, while supporting proper ventilation, to reduce the impact water has on your property. 

The thought of collapsing floors will keep any homeowner up all night, but you can worry a lot less when you call United Structural Systems for help. We have more than 30 years of experience providing structural repair services in Knoxville, and our professional work crews are trained and equipped to handle any job.
