"We had them raise the foundation but the brick wall cracked even worse now. I wish I hadn't done the work. The guys that did the work. They did a great job but because the foundation was raised the brick wall cracked worse than it was and they said there's nothing else they can do about it. So now I'm stuck with a worse broke wall. I was promised that it would fix the cracks in the wall. Did not happen. Not real happy with the process"

"Thrasher did an excellent job repairing our driveway. They leveled out the entire driveway with amazing precision, and they fixed all the gaps with an attractive sealant that blends beautifully with the concrete. All of the team members I interacted with were professional and polite. I am very pleased with the results and only wish I’d called them sooner."

"Mike with Artios Painting did an excellent job. He was on time, very responsive, and started work right away. He is more old-school and prefers phone calls instead of texting, which worked fine for me and communication was always clear. He kept me informed throughout the entire project and made sure everything was done correctly. The finished work looks great and you can definitely see the improvement in the before and after pictures. I would hire him again and highly recommend Artios Painting to anyone needing quality painting/repair work. He also a jack of all trades."

"Scott had to repair/reinforce/replace floor joists in the crawl space and replace a basement window, repair cracks in the basement foundation, and replace a rotting wood post with a steel one. This was a complex job requiring Scott and his workman two days. They did an excellent job and did more than the contract specified, including wrapping foil tape around loose connections in the furnace ducts, shoring up unsupported floor joists in areas other than the original work order, etc. Scott is hardworking, knowledgeable, friendly and honest. I would recommend his company to anyone needing foundation, basement, and floor joist repair."

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

You can seal a concrete slab by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.

Yes, a house can collapse from severe foundation problems if they are left unchecked. However, this is a rare occurrence that typically takes many years to develop, and a partial collapse is more likely than a full one. Homes on hillsides or in areas with frequent washouts are at a higher risk. Barring a natural disaster or other extreme circumstances, clear signs of major issues will be apparent long before a collapse is imminent. It is crucial to conduct routine foundation inspections and address any problem, no matter how minor it seems, as soon as possible to avoid threatening the structural integrity of your home.

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’t completely drain your pool. Concrete pool repairs cost around $75 per linear foot for small cracks.

Always hire a foundation repair contractor the moment you suspect your house doesn't have a good foundation. The longer you wait to address foundation issues, the more likely they can lead to bowing floors, cracks in walls and ceilings, sticking doors and windows, chimney and roof problems, and more. Foundation problems can also let moisture into your home, leading to water damage, mold, and mildew problems.

You’ll need to reseal the foundation every five to 10 years, depending on the sealant you’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.
