Doors or windows that stick

When cimentation foundation elements shift even a fraction of an inch, the home's framing warps, causing doors and windows to stick, jam, or fail to latch properly.

What causes doors and windows to stick?

Your home’s framing relies on perfectly rectangular openings to allow smooth operation of doors and windows. When the foundation or subfloor supports settle unevenly, those rectangles turn into parallelograms, putting severe pressure on the tracks, hinges, and latches.

Root causes 3 most common

As parts of the heavy concrete cimentation sink into weak soil, it creates a domino effect that pulls the overhead structural framing out of balance.

Excessive moisture or wood rot under the house causes the floor joists to sag, pulling the interior walls downward and warping the door jambs above them.

The clay soil under your foundation constantly shifts with weather changes, lifting and dropping specific sections of the house and throwing openings out of square.
