5 Where does it hurt? ENGINEERED EXCELLENCE There are a variety of factors that can put stress on your foundation. Do you see any symptoms of foundation failure in your home? Show us. 1 Bricks or walls cracking Stress cracks appear in the mortar of the brick veneer. Patching cracks with mortar does not fix the problem. 4 Drywall separating Cracks over doors appear in the drywall or sheetrock of interior walls. 2 Chimneys tilting, leaning Most chimney foundations are connected to home foundation and if it is tilting or leaning, it can be a sign of a structural issue. 5 Doors, windows sticking Sticking doors and windows could mean that there is a problem with the foundation of your home. 3 Walls bowing, bulging Pressure from earth movement on a wall can force the wall to begin to bow inward, fracture and then collapse. 6 Basement leaking A leaking basement, or standing water in a basement, can mean that potential harmful water is not draining away from the foundation. 2

6 Crawlspace/ Basement Excavation Footing Titan SP-90 Underpinning Underpinning strengthens the foundation of an existing structure. Using the weight of the home or structure, stabilization of the foundation can be achieved. Pile Guide Pile 3 Load Bearing Stratum Titan Products, Inc.
