Are foundation repairs permanent?

• <div><p>Some foundation repairs are permanent, like underpinning and exterior drainage systems like the French drain. These fixes address the underlying problems—insufficient support from the soil and hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls, respectively—so they can last for many decades, making them “lifetime fixes.” There are other solutions to address these issues that will last for up to a decade, making them temporary. These include slabjacking to raise concrete slabs back into place and dampproofing to reduce the water in the soil that interacts with the concrete foundation. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between underpinning and foundation repair?

• <div><p>Underpinning is a type of foundation repair in which a repair specialist installs piers under your foundation to provide additional support for the concrete and structure above. Foundation repair is an umbrella term that includes many other repair methods, including foundation crack repair, waterproofing, cosmetic repair, concrete block wall stabilization, and more. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a concrete job is bad?

• <div><p>Visible cracks, scaling, flaking, and uneven surfaces indicate a bad concrete job. Additional signs vary depending on the project. You may notice poor drainage or even exposed rebar. Quality issues result from using the wrong concrete, rushing the work, or inexperienced workers completing the job.</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>

Q: When should I be worried about foundation settling?

• <div><p>Foundation settlement should be a concern if you notice it happening suddenly and years after construction, if the settlement results in signs of structural damage in your home, or if it happens after a flood, nearby sinkhole, or earthquake. Some signs of severe foundation settlement that should prompt you to call a repair specialist include sloping or uneven floors, large cracks in your foundation, moisture issues or pest infestation in your basement or crawl space, and an uneven roofline.</p></div>
