Can a slab foundation sink?

• <div><p>Yes, slab foundations can sink just like any other foundation type. Floating slabs are the most prone to differential settlement and foundation sinking because they sit directly on the surface of the earth. Slab foundations that have footings—including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/slab-on-grade-foundation.htm">slab-on-grade foundations</a> and monolithic slab foundations—get additional support from soil further down and are less likely to sink over time, especially under larger, heavier structures.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth repairing concrete cracks?

• <div><p>Yes, it is worth repairing concrete cracks. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freshly-poured-concrete-normally-crack.htm">Concrete cracks are normal</a>, and they can be hard to keep from appearing. However, it is worth repairing cracks in concrete for many reasons. For example, it&rsquo;s possible to repair concrete to the point where the repair is almost invisible. Also, if the crack is left alone, it can become bigger and more expensive to fix over time.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix water damaged concrete?

• <div><p>You can patch minor cracks and damage yourself using concrete fillers or mortar. Larger damage may require full replacement of affected slabs. However, water damage to your concrete will never disappear unless you address the root cause causing the water to cumulate. To prevent future damage, you can also waterproof your concrete.</p></div>

Q: How much foundation sinking is too much?

• <div><p>Most houses are expected to settle over time, but foundation sinking of more than a few inches or uneven sinking of more than an inch for every 20 feet is cause for concern. Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs. </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>

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.

We have had issues with the toilet for some time. The flange is a bit too low for the floor. Because of the age of the house and the flange, it is difficult to find parts to fit. Since the repair, there have been no more leaks. Toby was prompt, came on a weekend and didn't change a premium. ...

"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."
