Is foundation repair covered by home insurance?

• <div><p>No, foundation repair is not usually covered by home insurance. Most home insurance companies typically consider foundation repair as part of your home maintenance, so they won’t cover the cost. However, foundation damage is sometimes caused by covered events such as a burst pipe or a house fire. In these cases, repairs may be covered.</p></div>

Is slab-on-grade good?

• <div><p>A slab-on-grade or slab foundation is a great option in many areas—usually in warm or moderate climates—and has been a successful foundation style for many decades. Slab foundations don’t require excavation or concrete block wall construction, so they’re the least expensive foundation type. They’re also the fastest to construct and don’t have many issues with moisture or water intrusion. However, they don’t give you extra storage space or potential living space like a crawl space or basement would, and they’re not ideal in colder areas where utility lines can freeze and frost heave can cause major damage.</p></div>

Q: Can you reduce your slab leak repair costs by fixing it yourself?

• <div><p>You could DIY the work, but unless you have plumber&rsquo;s knowledge for identifying and fixing a slab leak and specialized equipment in your tool shed, attempting to DIY your slab leak repair isn&rsquo;t a good idea. It&rsquo;s simply not something that the average homeowner can take on themselves, regardless of how many successful DIY projects they&rsquo;ve got under their belt. You could, however, do something simple like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stop-water-basement-floor.htm">foundation waterproofing</a> yourself to save some money on the post-repair work.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell the difference between settling and foundation problems?

• <div><p>Most of the time, normal foundation settling will present as thin cracks in the foundation and minor creaks in the floorboards. In contrast, you can identify foundation issues by wide or uneven foundation cracks, horizontal or step-shaped gaps on the foundation wall, or cracks that go around corners of your foundation. Foundation problems can also cause changes in your living area, like increased humidity, uneven or sloping floors, nail pops in drywall, countertops pulling away from the wall, and windows and doors getting stuck. When in doubt, call in a professional to identify the underlying cause.</p></div>

Q: Can a house with a bad foundation be saved?

• <div><p>There are many actions that specialists can take to repair a bad foundation. However, just like a car, a specialist will determine whether the cost of repairs is worth it in the long run. In many cases, repairs to the surrounding property&mdash;such as regrading your lawn or addressing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-solve-yard-drainage-problems.htm">lawn drainage issues</a>&mdash;will also be necessary.</p></div>

These men were professional and very responsive to our needs considering the first people we had called never came out to our house. Their price was what we had expected and the job that they did was exactly what we had wanted.

Mr. Brooks was fantastic to work with. We had issues working around the rainy spring weather, but that's to be expected this time of the year. He and his crew came out on a Thursday and built the frame after first excavating the grass. They then were out the next morning to pour and smooth the...
