Is foundation repair covered by home insurance?

• <div><p>No, foundation repair is not usually covered by home insurance. Most home insurance companies typically consider foundation repair as part of your home maintenance, so they won’t cover the cost. However, foundation damage is sometimes caused by covered events such as a burst pipe or a house fire. In these cases, repairs may be covered.</p></div>

Is thicker concrete less likely to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you’re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage. </p></div>

Q: What services do cement companies offer?

• <div><p>Cement companies offer a wide variety of services, including delivering and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pouring concrete for home foundations</a>, walkways, patios, driveways, concrete steps, pools, pool decks, and more, plus concrete repair and patching. Most companies also have the ability to demolish and haul away old concrete landscaping features. It&rsquo;s a good idea to reach out to a few different companies before hiring to make sure you choose one that can tackle the entirety of the project you have from start to finish. This method will typically save you some money over hiring multiple contractors. </p></div>

Q: Can you lift a sinking foundation?

• <div><p>A sinking foundation can be lifted, most often by installing piers to re-level and support the weight of the house. Depending on the cause and extent of the sinking, other methods to lift a foundation include underpinning and mudjacking. Consult a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/foundation-repair/">foundation repair pro</a> to determine the best way to lift your sinking foundation. </p></div>

Q: Can you reduce your slab leak repair costs by fixing it yourself?

• <div><p>You could DIY the work, but unless you have plumber&rsquo;s knowledge for identifying and fixing a slab leak and specialized equipment in your tool shed, attempting to DIY your slab leak repair isn&rsquo;t a good idea. It&rsquo;s simply not something that the average homeowner can take on themselves, regardless of how many successful DIY projects they&rsquo;ve got under their belt. You could, however, do something simple like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stop-water-basement-floor.htm">foundation waterproofing</a> yourself to save some money on the post-repair work.</p></div>

He started with a price of $380 which was a bit high and then he said he found another problem after he started. Now it is $500 dollar repair on an $800 six yr old fridge. I could have spent another $400 and had a new one. Will not use him again.

Jim was punctual and replaced worn solenoids on 6 year old dryer. However, we discovered he had broken something in the control panel preventing it from sitting properly, making it extremely difficult to start. It takes a tremendous force to press buttons that were fine before his "repair". He...
