Common Signs of Necessary Home Structure 
Repairs
Introduction
Our homes are our sanctuaries, a place of comfort and stability. But what happens when that stability feels…well, shaky? 
When left unchecked, structural damage can seriously threaten your property’s value and, more importantly, your safety. So, 
how do you know if your beloved home harbours a hidden issue? While cosmetic home structure repairs can be an easy 
option, identifying and addressing such issues requires keen observation and timely action.
Recognizing the Common Signs of 
Necessary Home Structure Repairs
Detecting structural damage early can help avoid expensive home repairs in the future. Check 
for common signs in the following slide:
Cracks in Walls and 
Ceilings
• Look out for larger, pronounced cracks.
• Horizontal cracks may suggest 
foundation issues.
• Vertical cracks could indicate settlement.
• Monitor changes in size or direction.
Uneven Floors
• Sloping or sagging floors may signal 
foundation settling.
• Can also indicate water damage or 
support beam issues.
• Use a spirit level to check for subtle 
inclines.
Sticking Doors and 
Windows
• Difficult to open/close doors and windows 
might hint at foundation shifts.
• Persistent issues through seasons 
suggest structural problems.
Gaps Between Walls, 
Floors, and Ceilings
• Noticeable gaps are clear indicators of 
structural movement.
• These could be due to foundation settling 
or construction issues.
• Regular inspection is crucial, especially in 
older homes.
Chimney Cracks and 
Leaning
• A leaning or cracked chimney could 
mean foundation or soil movement.
• Structural issues with the chimney are 
dangerous and require prompt action.
