❤️ Love Your Home This February: Protect It From the Ground Up
February is the Month of Love, and while you’re thinking of hearts, flowers, and warm moments, don’t forget about the place where love lives—your home.
At Able Basement and Structural Solutions, we believe that caring for your home is one of the most powerful ways to protect your family. With 27 years of A+ BBB-rated service, we’re here to help you show your house the love it deserves—especially during Ohio’s unpredictable winter weather.
Why February is Tough on Your Foundation
Central Ohio winters bring a mix of freezing temperatures, thaw cycles, and excess ground moisture, which can wreak havoc on your home’s structural integrity. If left unchecked, these winter conditions may cause:
Foundation cracks from expanding frozen soil
Water intrusion as snow melts and seeps through weaknesses
Frost heave that shifts concrete or footers
Basement leaks or damp crawl spaces
And unfortunately, love can’t fix a foundation crack—but we can.
Show Your House Some Love: February Home Checkup List
Here’s how to give your home a little TLC this season:
1. Check for Moisture Intrusion
Inspect your basement walls and floors for dampness or musty smells. Even a small leak could lead to mold growth or structural deterioration.
2. Inspect Foundation Cracks
Look for horizontal, stair-step, or widening cracks in your foundation or crawl space walls. These often worsen during freeze-thaw cycles.
3. Evaluate Structural Integrity
Uneven floors, doors that don’t close right, or visible sagging? These could be signs your home is sending you an SOS.
4. Check Concrete Slabs and Walkways
Winter frost can cause your porch, driveway, or steps to lift and settle unevenly, creating trip hazards.
