How Foundation Problems Can Harm Your Business

With numerous things to plan and foresee, time is money for business owners. A busy schedule may result in entrepreneurs neglecting some important aspects that can harm their business operations, such as the state of their building foundations.

Here are a few of the many negative consequences of foundation problems.

Loss of clients

Clients can be very demanding. A front door that is difficult to close may be enough for a customer to lose trust in the business; they expect a consistent level of quality that can be reflected in the condition of the property.

For example, foundation issues linked to water infiltration can cause bad odours due to the growth of mold, which can drive customers away, especially in the food or catering business. Unwanted insects or rodents can also make their way through cracks in the concrete. These factors can lead to serious health problems caused by soil in poor condition.

Lowered property value

If foundations get damaged, a number of structural elements are at risk since they form the basis of a building. Although the first indicators can be as subtle as a door or window that is difficult to close, matters can escalate until the building collapses. The value of a property is therefore likely to drop drastically if foundation damages are detected.

It is recommended that business owners who also own the building regularly schedule foundation inspections since these consequences can harm the survival of their business.

Increased risk of accidents and health issues

The health and security of employees and clients should be a top priority for business owners. Foundation damages may increase the risk of accidents or related health issues.

For example, a concrete floor crack resulting from foundation problems may limit the mobility of people in wheelchairs and greatly increases the risk of falls. Consequently, a client who suffers an injury may take legal action against the business owner.

Water and moisture-absorbing materials in a building can also become moldy as a result of water infiltration through a foundation crack. The spread of mold spores can contribute to the development of respiratory disorders, especially for employees who work long hours.

Contact foundation specialists

Contact foundation specialists today to inspect the condition of your foundations and/or get them repaired. Foundation Crack Expert Group offers a full range of services from inspection to repairs, so get your foundations inspected instead of leaving the future of your business to chance.
