Perimeter Beam Failure
Perimeter Beam Failure
The perimeter beam is an important structural component of a concrete slab foundation. When it experiences movement, cracking, settlement, or loss of support, it can contribute to visible changes throughout the home.
What to Look For
- Cracks along the exterior concrete beam
- Separation between the foundation and exterior walls
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Doors and windows that become difficult to open or close
- Cracks around exterior brick or masonry
- Gaps or movement along the perimeter of the home
How Parker Foundation Repair Can Help
At Parker Foundation Repair, we evaluate the condition of the concrete slab and perimeter areas while looking at the overall pattern of movement throughout the home. We consider visible stress indicators and elevation changes to better understand what may be contributing to the problem.
Once the evaluation is complete, we explain our findings and, when appropriate, provide multiple repair options designed around your home’s specific needs.
