FAQ
PANKEY FOUNDATION REPAIR
Drainage problems are the number one cause of
foundation problems. We specialize in drainage
improvements, including water proofing, french drains,
surface drains, swails, gutter downspout extensions, and
sump pump pits.
WHAT DOES FOUNDATION
DRAINAGE MEAN?
Foundation drainage refers to any
system designed to divert or direct water
away from a foundation. Some of these
drainage systems are installed outside
the edge of foundations as well as
systems that are installed under
foundations.
WHY IS FOUNDATION DRAINAGE
IMPORTANT?
Foundation drainage is important
because too much water can cause soils
to be expansive creating hydrostatic
pressure, and foundations can push in.
Too much water, and expansive soils will
cause floor heaving. Good foundation
drainage helps to keep excess water
away from a foundation and prevent
problems.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CAUSES
OF FOUNDATION PROBLEMS?
Some of the causes of foundation
problems can include an inferior
foundation construction, plumbing
issues or other leaks, roots pushing in on
the foundation, inadequate drainage,
poor soil quality along with excessive
drought or rain conditions. If part of the
soil under your foundation was not
properly and consistently compacted
before the foundation was poured, it
could cause that section of the home to
sink leading to serious foundation
problems.
WHEN YOU SUSPECT FOUNDATION
PROBLEMS, WHAT ARE THE SIGNS TO
LOOK FOR?
•
Cracks in exterior brick
•
Displaced or cracked moldings
•
Cracks or bowing walls
•
Doors/Windows not opening/closing
•
Cracks in floors
•
Water in basement
•
Seperation of doors or windows
If you have any of the above problems,
no matter what the age of your home,
could be a sign of a much larger
problem.
WHAT ARE THE WARNING SIGNS OF A
CRACKED FOUNDATION?
Here is a simple check list or signs to look for
so you can make a preliminary assessment. If
you have any of these signs don’t panic,
Pankey Foundation Repair will provide you
with a free estimate.
DO I NEED FOUNDATION DRAINAGE?
If you have standing water an hour after a
rain stops that is standing water within 10 feet
of your foundation then the answer is YES.
DOES STANDING WATER IN MY YARD
CAUSE FOUNDATION PROBLEMS?
Drainage problems are the number one cause
of foundation problems. We specialize in
drainage improvements, including water
proofing, french drains, surface drains, swails,
gutters downspout extensions, and sump
pump pits.
WILL THE DROUGHT AFFECT MY
FOUNDATION?
Most definitely. Homes in the Kansas City area
have expansive clay. When there is no
moisture it shrinks and can cause foundation
settlement.
ARE CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR BETTER
THAN OTHERS TO FIX FOUNDATION
PROBLEMS?
The best time to fix a foundation problem is
as soon as you find it. If left for a time, a
foundation problem could get worse, which
means more time and more money for repair.
You might also see the damage move from
the exterior into the interior of your home.

Foundation problems must be up to the
buyer banks are hesitant to loan money on
homes with structural damage to deal with
the foundation issues. If the buyer will need
financing to buy your property your
foundation will need to be repaired prior to
the sale. Make sure you ask any repair team
you are considering, if they offer a
transferable warranty for the new owner if the
house or business is sold.

FOUNDATION?

completely transferable warranty. This means
if you sell your home, the new owner will be
covered. Make sure you ask any foundation
repair company you are considering if they
offer a warranty and if its transferable.
