Will your foundation be able to support a second story?

• <div><p>Most single-story homes don't have foundations strong enough to support a second story, but they can be reinforced for an addition. A structural engineer can assess your foundation and what needs to be done to get it ready. They'll look at any cracks or unevenness in your current foundation and consider any special framing or beams your home needs, especially if it’s in a high-wind or hurricane area.</p><p>“To support a second story, many structural engineers will require that you install additional concrete piers in the crawlspace,” says Tschudi. “This involves hand excavating, pouring a large concrete footing—usually with specially coated rebar—and then building concrete piers right up to the girders.”</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is recommended for solidifying a foundation?

• <div><p>Periodic inspections and addressing drainage issues prevent further damage.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if a concrete crack is serious?

• <div><p>Although some concrete cracks are cosmetic, others can be more serious. Cracks wider than ⅛ inch or that extend through the slab are serious and can cause structural damage. If you notice these types of cracks in your concrete patio, contact a local contractor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-installs-concrete-patios.htm">who installs concrete patios</a> to inspect the damage and determine how to fix it. </p></div>

Q: Can repair improve energy efficiency?

• <div><p>Addressing gaps and cracks reduces heat loss and improves energy use.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix water damaged concrete?

• <div><p>You can patch minor cracks and damage yourself using concrete fillers or mortar. Larger damage may require full replacement of affected slabs. However, water damage to your concrete will never disappear unless you address the root cause causing the water to cumulate. To prevent future damage, you can also waterproof your concrete.</p></div>
