How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don’t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it’s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it’s just a few inches tall, it’s likely a slab. If it’s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>

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: How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it&rsquo;s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it&rsquo;s just a few inches tall, it&rsquo;s likely a slab. If it&rsquo;s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>

Q: How long does foundation sealant last?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to reseal the foundation <b>every five to 10 years, </b>depending on the sealant you&rsquo;ve used, the moisture conditions present in and around your home, and the condition of your foundation. Having a foundation inspection conducted before reapplication can help you catch any problems before you begin resealing. Of course, if you notice any new leaks or other moisture problems at any time, it may be necessary to reseal the foundation sooner.</p></div>

Q: What are common signs that a foundation needs repair?

• <div><p>Cracks, shifting, or uneven floors indicate potential foundation issues.</p></div>

Q: Does house settling mean foundation issues?

• <div><p>No, house settling is normal as your home&rsquo;s foundation settles into the soil below and as the framing of your home shifts as it expands and contracts with changes in temperature and moisture. However, if you get to the point where your doors and windows aren&rsquo;t opening easily, your floors are uneven, or you can visibly see that your roof line is wavy or uneven, you are more likely to have foundation issues.</p></div>
