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 do you know if you have a leak under your foundation?

• <div><p>A leak under your foundation from a water supply line or sewage line is likely to lead to water pooling on certain areas of your property during rainfall, abnormally fast-growing or green grass in certain sections of your lawn, and differential settlement of your foundation, which can result in large foundation cracks, windows and doors failing to operate properly, a wavy or sloping roofline, or damages or irregularities in your interior walls, including cracks and bulging. If it&rsquo;s a plumbing line embedded in your slab, you&rsquo;ll also likely notice above-average water bills.</p></div>

Q: How can I spot a concrete slab leak before it becomes a major issue?

• <div><p>Regularly inspecting your foundation&mdash;at least the visible sections&mdash;for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-signs-homes-foundation-trouble.htm">signs of foundation issues</a> like moisture and pest infestation is a good way to identify slab leaks early, as is keeping an eye and ear out for water damage to indoor building materials, above-average water bills, sounds of running water when no fixtures or appliances are on, and indoor humidity that causes the temperatures to feel more extreme. If you do find any issues, contact a plumber right away to check it out for you.</p></div>

Q: Do concrete pools crack?

• <div><p>Concrete pools are very durable but can crack if not properly maintained. The most significant risk is winter weather and low temperatures when water can seep into crevices and freeze. To avoid damage, use the proper winterization chemicals, and don&rsquo;t completely drain your pool. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-pool-repairs-cost.htm">Concrete pool repairs cost</a> around <b>$75 per linear foot</b> for small cracks.</p></div>

Q: When does water damage a foundation?

• <div><p>Water damage to a foundation often starts as a slow leak or water vapor problem that worsens over the course of months or even years. The speed at which foundation leaks worsen depends on a few factors, including your climate and location, the soil composition around your home, the foundation drainage system you have in place, if any, and the type of foundation you have. Even if you have a minor issue that&rsquo;s slow to develop, it&rsquo;s best to have a professional address the issue immediately.</p></div>

They did an excellent job. Had to have a couple things repaired that was caught in the home inspection. The job was quick. The cost could always be cheaper but I was only charged a service call.

What really sold me on this shop was the courtesy I was given by the employee's. I did not talk to the repair man until the next day. What blew me away that they did not charge for the service. I will take the machine back if I have any problems. I will also delight in shopping at this store.
