Can a slab foundation sink?

• <div><p>Yes, slab foundations can sink just like any other foundation type. Floating slabs are the most prone to differential settlement and foundation sinking because they sit directly on the surface of the earth. Slab foundations that have footings—including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/slab-on-grade-foundation.htm">slab-on-grade foundations</a> and monolithic slab foundations—get additional support from soil further down and are less likely to sink over time, especially under larger, heavier structures.</p></div>

What happens if you don’t follow foundation code requirements?

• <div><p>Violating building codes can lead to a number of consequences, including fines, citations, and even being required to demolish the structure and start over. If your house isn’t compliant with code requirements, you can also run into trouble when it comes time to get homeowners insurance or sell your house. Following all applicable building codes will avert costly consequences.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for concrete installations?

• <div><p>Periodic sealing and cleaning to maintain appearance and integrity.</p></div>

Q: What is underpinning a foundation?

• <div><p>Underpinning a foundation is when a contractor installs deep piers under your foundation to provide support. Professionals often use this foundation repair method when the soil underneath the foundation is no longer strong enough to support the house evenly. Underpinning a foundation often comes with other repairs to tackle the source of the problem. For example, a contractor may regrade your yard around your home&rsquo;s foundation to make sure water drains away from your house.</p></div>
