Will foundation repair affect home value?

• <div><p>Foundation repair can affect home value positively or negatively. If you address the underlying issue and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-foundation-repair-contractor.htm">hire a foundation repair contractor</a> to complete the work—especially one that includes a warranty for the work—then your repair will likely increase your home’s value. If you fail to pull proper permits and cannot prove that a licensed expert completed the work, there’s a chance buyers will view your home in a negative light and end up offering less for your property.</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>

Is slab-on-grade good?

• <div><p>A slab-on-grade or slab foundation is a great option in many areas—usually in warm or moderate climates—and has been a successful foundation style for many decades. Slab foundations don’t require excavation or concrete block wall construction, so they’re the least expensive foundation type. They’re also the fastest to construct and don’t have many issues with moisture or water intrusion. However, they don’t give you extra storage space or potential living space like a crawl space or basement would, and they’re not ideal in colder areas where utility lines can freeze and frost heave can cause major damage.</p></div>

Q: What happens if a house doesn't have a good foundation?

• <div><p>Always <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-do-i-hire-foundation-repair.htm">hire a foundation repair contractor</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: What happens if your foundation isn't square?

• <div><p>If your foundation isn&rsquo;t properly square, there&rsquo;s a chance that anything you built before detecting the issue may need to be torn down. A major miscalculation could leave some walls of your home unsupported. </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.

"This company came in and replaced a botched job done by an unscrupulous concrete contractor. Curb Sol did the demolition of that job and replaced it with exactly what I requested. Clean job and very professional. In Maine it's hard to find trustworthy, fair contractors. Highly recommend these guys. Thanks in particular to David Shorey the point man for Curb Sol. He was very responsive and on top of things all the way through the process. Thank you."
