This trend might continue into March. The Pacific Jet Stream, active across southern states during El Ni\u00f1o, brings wet weather, including rain and snow.<\/p>\n<p>This prolonged wetness poses a risk to home foundations. When the soil around a foundation gets too wet, it expands, shifting the foundation. In summer, as the soil dries, it can create empty spaces under the foundation, potentially causing it to sink.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to take precautions to protect your home&#8217;s foundation during these weather conditions. This includes understanding some of the signs of foundation settlement or failure. Some of these signs include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Floor cracks<\/li>\n<li>Wall cracks<\/li>\n<li>Ceiling cracks<\/li>\n<li>Doors and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okfoundationrepair.com\/blog\/sticking-windows\/\">windows that stick<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Leaning chimney<\/li>\n<li>Garage column cracks<\/li>\n<li>Stair and stoop problems<\/li>\n<li>Bowing or leaning walls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you notice any of these sign of foundation problems, contact the experts at Pierman Foundation Repair Services for a free inspection.

These tiebacks and plate anchors will also strengthen the wall so it won&#8217;t bow or lean in the future.<\/p>\n<p>All of the products we use for foundation repair are manufactured by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthcontactproducts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Earth Contact Products<\/a> (ECP), the leader in the manufacturing of foundation repair and basement waterproofing products in the industry today.
