Foundation Repairs: What Time of Year is Best?

Do You Suspect Foundation Issues? Let’s Break Down the Best Time of Year for Repairs

So you have a sneaking suspicion that you may have problems with your foundation. You may have noticed cracks, bowing walls, or “weeping” moisture, to name a few symptoms. Concern clouds your thoughts. Do you need to have foundation repairs done? If so, is it the right time of year for the best outcome? There are some “more desirable” times of year to complete repairs, so let’s take a look at them so we can understand why.

What’s Up With Winter?

The winter months fall within the period from December to March. During these months, the ground tends to be more stable due to the colder temperatures and less liquid moisture in the soil. This is often thought to be an ideal time to work on your foundation. As a rule, the damage tends to progress more slowly during this time. If winter works well for you, then it may be a good time to contact a professional contractor with ECP (Earth Contact Products). ECP’s contractors stand ready at any time to assist you with your foundation repairs.

April Showers Bring Spring….Foundation Repairs?

Naturally, we associate the spring months with getting things done. The weather gets warmer, and the precipitation becomes rain versus snow. From the months of April to June, damage to your foundation may become more prevalent, making it easier for a professional to diagnose what problems you have and make a plan for repairs. Symptoms such as worsening cracks or more obvious weeping moisture on your foundation walls may appear. Therefore, the spring months may be more desirable to you due to how easy it is to see exactly what is wrong. We are now nearly into the spring months of 2021, and if you have noticed worsening cracks or weeping walls, ECP contractors again stand ready to assist you with your foundation repairs!
