When it comes to foundation repairs, timing can make all the difference. If you’ve noticed cracks in your walls or doors that don’t close properly, you might be wondering when the best time to fix your foundation is. The good news? Summer—especially July—is actually one of the best times to tackle foundation issues. Here’s why this season works in your favor and why you should consider reaching out to a professional like A+ Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to get started.
Why Foundation Problems Often Show Up in Summer
During the hot summer months, the ground experiences a lot of drying and shrinking. This can cause the soil around your foundation to pull away, leading to gaps and uneven settling. These soil movements can put extra pressure on your foundation walls, resulting in cracks or shifts that you might start noticing in your basement or crawl space.
Since moisture levels are generally lower in summer, it’s easier for contractors to assess the true condition of your foundation. Wet or muddy conditions can mask problems or make repairs difficult. That’s why the drier weather of July provides an ideal window to get a thorough inspection and start any necessary repairs.
The Benefits of Summer Foundation Repairs
-
Dry Weather Means Faster Repairs
Repairs like crack injections, wall stabilization, and waterproofing require dry conditions to set properly. Summer’s low humidity and lack of rain help materials cure faster and last longer. -
Avoid Damage From Fall and Winter Weather
Addressing foundation problems in summer helps prevent water intrusion during the wetter fall months and protects your home against freeze-thaw cycles that can worsen cracks in winter. -
Better Access to Your Property
Landscaping and yard work can sometimes make foundation work tricky, but summer’s clear weather means fewer delays. Contractors can bring in equipment and materials without worrying about muddy conditions. -
Schedule Flexibility
Summer often offers more flexible scheduling options. By booking your foundation repairs in July, you avoid the busy fall season when contractors get booked up quickly.
