It’s best to consult with our experts to assess the carpet’s condition and determine if it can be salvaged or if replacement is necessary.
What causes cracks in my foundation walls?
Foundation wall cracks can result from various factors, including soil settlement, hydrostatic pressure, temperature changes, improper construction, or natural wear and tear. These cracks can allow water to seep into the basement, leading to water damage and potential structural issues. Timely repair is crucial to prevent further damage.
