By the end of this page, you’ll better understand why your floors are uneven and how Indiana Foundation Service can provide permanent stabilization solutions.

They can develop due to foundation settlement, foundation sinking, moisture problems in crawl spaces, and other factors. If left unaddressed, these issues are likely to worsen over time.

Uneven floors often come with additional warning signs, including:

• Gaps between floors and walls
• Cracks in drywall
• Nail pops in drywall
• Windows and doors that stick

Foundation settlement occurs when the soil beneath your home shifts and sinks, causing your foundation to move, often by several inches. This uneven settlement, known as differential settlement, can significantly impact your home’s structural integrity.

Common causes of foundation settlement include changes in soil moisture, which are prevalent in Indiana’s diverse soil types, including expansive clay-based soils.

Moisture damage is a leading cause of uneven floors in homes with crawl spaces because it weakens floor joists over time. Without proper encapsulation, moisture accumulates in crawl spaces, leading to wood rot and sagging floors.

Routine moisture and mold inspections in your crawl space, along with encapsulation, can help prevent these issues. If you detect any concerns with your floor joists or crawl space, act immediately to avoid additional damage and ensure your home’s safety.

Our technicians conduct thorough evaluations to identify the issue causing your uneven floors, enabling us to recommend repairs tailored to your home’s needs.

• Foundation Piers: Steel helical, push, or slab piers are installed deep into the ground to reinforce sinking and settling foundations.
• Crawl Space Support Jacks: Adjustable support systems permanently reinforce problematic floors and floor joists, potentially restoring them to their original positions.

We also address moisture issues with basement waterproofing or crawl space encapsulation solutions to prevent rot, decay, and instability.
