WHAT IS FOUNDATION REPAIR?
Foundation Repair. Those two words would probably cause any homeowner to panic.

What are the Warning Signs that your foundation needs repair?
Some homeowners are aware that their house has “issues,” but they may not recognize that a faulty foundation may have caused the problems. Here are some of the warning signs that should cause you to call JLB for a free consultation.
Cracks
Take a good look at your home’s foundation, floors, walls, and chimney. While small cracks may be expected, larger cracks may mean that you need the help of a professional. JLB’s team can analyze the cracks and determine which ones are only cosmetic issues and which gaps are cause for concern.
Doors and Windows that "Stick"
Have your doors and windows recently started to stick? This could be a sign that your foundation has shifted. The same is true if you notice any new gaps around your garage door. If multiple doors and windows aren’t functioning like they used to, call the foundation experts at JLB.
Nail Pops
Nail pops occur when nails pull away from the studs. If you see nail pops near cracks in your house, this may indicate that there was substantial movement in your drywall.
Years of Ignoring Water Drainage
