How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don’t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it’s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it’s just a few inches tall, it’s likely a slab. If it’s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>

Q: How long does efflorescence damage a concrete slab?

• <div><p>Efflorescence can damage a concrete slab for two to three years. After that, it resolves on its own once the surrounding salts are gone.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell the difference between settling and foundation problems?

• <div><p>Most of the time, normal foundation settling will present as thin cracks in the foundation and minor creaks in the floorboards. In contrast, you can identify foundation issues by wide or uneven foundation cracks, horizontal or step-shaped gaps on the foundation wall, or cracks that go around corners of your foundation. Foundation problems can also cause changes in your living area, like increased humidity, uneven or sloping floors, nail pops in drywall, countertops pulling away from the wall, and windows and doors getting stuck. When in doubt, call in a professional to identify the underlying cause.</p></div>
