Homeowners
When the house starts to settle.
TrueLine repairs and lifts existing coastal foundations with helical steel, and builds new-construction piles when you are starting a home. Request an inspection if you see the signs below.
Warning signs
What to watch for.
Cracks in brick, block, or drywall
Stair-step cracks in masonry, diagonal drywall cracks near openings, and gaps that grow over seasons.
Sticking doors and windows
Frames that rack so doors drag, latches miss, or windows bind after dry or wet spells.
Sloping or bouncing floors
Floors that roll toward a wall, bounce in the middle of a room, or feel soft over a crawl space.
Gaps at trim, porch, or chimney
Separation at baseboards, porch posts pulling away, or a chimney that leans off the house.
Signs suggest movement. They do not replace an on-site look or an engineer’s opinion when one is needed.
Repair services
Helical support for existing homes.
Building new instead? See owner-builders or new-construction foundations.
