Should I repair or replace crumbling concrete steps before adding a railing?

• <div><p>Crumbling concrete steps will affect your ability to drill into the material and affix a sturdy railing. If the damage is primarily cosmetic, you might be able to DIY the repair with a patch kit. If the concrete is badly crumbling, hire a professional who specializes in pouring concrete. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-chipped-broken-concrete-step-steps-lead-front-door.htm">concrete step repair cost</a> is <b>$500</b> from a professional, but the extent of the damage will determine your actual cost. The professional may recommend a replacement if the damage is extensive.</p></div>

Q: When should you walk away from foundation problems?

• <div><p>Foundation problems are costly to repair, but if you already own the home, you can either handle the issues or allow the property to (literally) sink into disrepair. The opposite is true when buying a home. Walk away if the seller refuses to lower the asking price once foundation issues are exposed or if they refuse to handle the problems before the completion of the sale.</p></div>

Q: Does foundation repair require a building permit?

• <div><p>Foundation repairs typically require a building permit, depending on the state and local jurisdiction. Make sure your contractor follows all building codes, and a local building inspector will review all work to ensure that it is up to code. Not following local building codes can prevent the sale of your home and potentially put your home at an even greater risk of damage if the work isn&rsquo;t done properly. You can call your local municipal office to confirm that your contractor has filed the necessary permits.</p></div>

Q: What is the best foundation repair method?

• <div><p>The best foundation repair method will depend on the issue you&rsquo;re having, but usually, foundation instability is best fixed using supportive piers, like steel piers or helical piers. A professional foundation repair contractor or structural engineer should always decide what the best course of action is, and even then, it&rsquo;s imperative that you also take measures to treat the underlying issue as well, like soil erosion or oversaturation from runoff.</p></div>

Q: Who pulls a permit for foundation repair?

• <div><p>Most building departments will require that a certified and licensed foundation repair professional or a structural engineer pull permits for foundation repair, so homeowners usually cannot pull them themselves. This helps ensure that an experienced professional completes all structural work on your home. Minor repairs that are technically DIYable often won&rsquo;t require permits, but it&rsquo;s still a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-do-i-hire-foundation-repair.htm">hire a professional to carry out foundation repair</a>s.</p></div>
