Check out our practical and inspiring tips and tricks to design your very own backyard lounge area.

Following a few late snowstorms, spring (finally!) seems to be knocking at our doors. For a lot of us, the arrival of warmer weather almost always means setting up our deck, patio, balcony, or whatever outdoor space we may have. Whether you just recently moved into a new home or have been living in the same house for years, spring means enjoying the outdoors. Hence your outdoor space automatically turns into an extension of your home, making for a second living room or lounge area.

List of Foundation Contractors

<h2>Would you like to find out more in order to be better prepared for your foundation renovation project?</h2>

Did you know?

The foundation is the structure that allows your home to stay upright. Therefore, it is important to ensure that they remain in good condition throughout the lifespan of the home. If you suspect that your foundation is damaged, an expert's opinion will be needed to determine the source of the problem and how to fix it.

Foundation renovation projects represent a major task that requires the intervention of a certified and perfectly qualified contractor. Indeed, the slightest miscalculation could put your home in jeopardy. If applicable, be sure to hire a contractor who holds valid licenses to ensure that you are protected against property damage or personal injury.

<h3>How do you know if your foundations need to be renovated?</h3>

Ground movements, temperature variations and other factors naturally contribute to the wear and tear of your foundations. It is, therefore, necessary to inspect your foundation on a regular basis to recognize potential problems, as several signs can be precursors of further damage.

<h4>- Cracks in the walls</h4>

Although it is normal for a house to settle slightly over the years, excessive settling will occur through cracks in the interior or exterior walls of the home. You will then notice fine fractures, ruptures, holes, crumbling or flaking that may indicate a support problem related to your foundation.

<h4>- Water infiltration</h4>

Drainage and waterproofing of foundations is most often responsible for infiltration problems. In addition to reducing the strength of your foundations, accumulated moisture fosters the growth of mould and fungus, which is clearly a danger to your structure. In this type of situation, it is necessary to act as quickly as possible by renovating your foundations.

<h4>- Inclined floor</h4>

Over time, the foundation problems will affect other parts of the house, especially the upper floor. Inclined floors or deformed ceilings can be obvious signs that your foundation is not in good shape.
