Doors and windows sticking from foundation movement — Larnaca, Larnaca
When interior doors suddenly start sticking, no longer latch properly, or swing open on their own, and windows become hard to slide or lock, the cause is often differential foundation settlement shifting the framing out of square. Cracks above door frames and diagonal drywall cracks near corners confirm the diagnosis. A foundation specialist inspects the settlement pattern, installs steel push piers or helical piers beneath the footing, and lifts the foundation back toward its original elevation to restore level framing throughout the home.
