Your house probably won't send you a text saying, “Hey, I think something's moving down here.”
But it will leave clues.
A new crack.
A door that suddenly sticks.
A floor that doesn't feel quite level.
A gap around a window that wasn't there before.
One small change doesn't automatically mean you have a major foundation problem—but changes that are new, growing, or appearing in several places deserve attention.
September is a great time to walk around your home and see if anything looks different than it did earlier this summer.
Catching a potential problem early gives you more time to understand what's happening and determine the right solution.
