Repair Your Separated Counters and Cabinets in San Jose, CA

If you live in the San Jose area, you know that your home can be affected by a number of things, from earthquake damage to foundation settlement and more. Sometimes you’ll face problems in your home that could be caused by a number of outside forces, meaning you need an expert to help you diagnose how best to fix the problem. One example of this is cabinets and counters separating from your walls. This could have been caused by a severe earthquake or it could be caused by foundation settlement/shifting. At Foundation Strategies and Construction, we can help with any and all foundation settlement problems.

What Causes Separated Counters and Cabinets?

Separated counters and cabinets can be caused by anything from technical mistakes to environmental issues. Some of these issues include:

• Wall-Mounted cabinets that aren’t properly secured to the wall – These could fall on someone and cause serious injury
• Lack of hardware used to secure the cabinet together
• Foundation Settlement shifting the home and its supports, affecting all hanging components inside the home
• Excess moisture or lack of moisture causing the supporting wall to shrink and expand
• Earthquake tremors cause the home to shift and move, weakening supports of hanging objects

All of these issues are serious and should be addressed by a professional. If you have children in the home, it is especially dangerous to have unsecured or shifting cabinets, as children like to hang on doors and can be crushed by the weight of the cabinet or countertop.
