But you will never see them and they will not be a huge problem unless you face with water. There is a wide selection of ways to fix a foundation wall. Firstly, you can have it stated outside. Dig the trench along the perimeter of the house and it will promote creating a special barrier to water. Secondly, why not fix everything by moving away the plasterboard and adding a little resin.

3.  Broken Drain Tiles

It is a really unexpected fact that titles become broken because of the trees. Due to constant freezing, their roots overgrow and infiltrate the tile, rocks and soil.
