Interior Doors Sticking or Failing to Latch

Interior doors that suddenly stick, rub against the jamb, or fail to latch are often treated as a humidity problem, but when the pattern spreads across multiple doors on one side of the home, the cause is foundation movement beneath that section.

The floor is tilting, racking the door frames out of square. NJ homeowners often notice this during the dry fall season, which rules out seasonal swelling. A foundation assessment typically reveals settlement requiring underpinning on the affected side.
