14. Foundational Concerns

Another critical component of a home is the base. Your house will begin to sag into the ground if it does not have a solid foundation. This thing may result in uneven floors, and the floor can eventually fall into the ground entirely. You can sense an unstable foundation as soon as you walk inside a house in some states where crawl spaces are used instead of basements.

If you live in an area where basements are standard, a crack in the house's side in the form of a staircase may indicate foundation problems. A faulty foundation, like a defective roof, would be an extremely costly issue to repair. This thing can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $15,000, according to Home Guide.
