Abstract
Systems and methods for preventing cracks in the foundation of a building are provided. Exemplary techniques may include monitoring pressure measurements captured by one or more pressure sensors configured to be positioned against and/or located on a foundation of a building over a period of time; analyzing the pressure measurements captured by the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time in order to determine that the foundation of the building has moved away from the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time; and triggering an alert indicating that the foundation of the building has moved away from the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time.
Claims21
A computer system for preventing cracks in the foundation of a building, comprising:
- one or more pressure sensors configured to be positioned against a foundation of a building;
- one or more processors configured to interface with the one or more pressure sensors and one or more memories, the one or more memories storing non-transitory computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- monitor pressure measurements captured by the one or more pressure sensors over a period of time;
- analyze the pressure measurements captured by the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time in order to determine that the foundation of the building has moved away from the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time;
- and
- trigger an alert indicating that the foundation of the building has moved away from the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for preventing cracks in the foundation of a building, that, when executed by one or more processors configured to interface with one or more pressure sensors configured to be positioned against a foundation of a building, cause the one or more processors to:
- monitor pressure measurements captured by the one or more pressure sensors over a period of time;
- analyze the pressure measurements captured by the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time in order to determine that the foundation of the building has moved away from the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time;
- and
- trigger an alert indicating that the foundation of the building has moved away from the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time.
A computer-implemented method for preventing cracks in the foundation of a building, comprising:
- monitoring, by one or more processors, pressure measurements captured by one or more pressure sensors configured to be positioned against a foundation of a building over a period of time;
- analyzing, by the one or more processors, the pressure measurements captured by the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time in order to determine that the foundation of the building has moved away from the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time;
- and
- triggering, by the one or more processors, an alert indicating that the foundation of the building has moved away from the one or more pressure sensors over the period of time.
