If you notice cracks in your home's foundation, it can be worrying. Sometimes these cracks are harmless, but other times they indicate more serious issues with the foundation of your Edmonton home. Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether or not there is cause for concern.

Cracks often form as homes age--this is normal! As buildings settle over time due to shifting soil conditions and changing weather patterns, they will develop small fissures along joints where two pieces of lumber meet; these fractures usually occur at points where there was once expansion/contraction stress on the wood during construction (think windowsills). These kinds of cracks don't threaten structural integrity but may need attention if they become bigger than 1/4 inch wide or long--if this happens then contact us right away!

Look for these signs that might indicate problems with your foundation.

There are a few signs that can indicate problems with your foundation, including:

• Cracks in the foundation. If you see these, call an expert to advise you on how to fix them.

• Cracks in walls and ceilings. These are often caused by shifting soil or water damage and may need repairs before they worsen.

• Cracks in window frames, doors, stairs (and other furniture). If these aren't properly secured they could break under pressure from shifting soil beneath them--which isn't good news for anyone who lives there!

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to call a foundation expert to inspect your home.
