Q: Is it safe to stay in a home with foundation problems?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually not an immediate safety risk to live in a house with foundation problems, but you don&rsquo;t want to let those problems persist.

Q: Does cracked brick mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>Sometimes cracked brick can mean a foundation problem, such as when the crack appears indoors and is vertical, or long horizontal cracks either inside or outside. If the crack widens at the top, then it&rsquo;s safe to assume there is structural damage. Other things to look for are uneven floors, diagonal cracks indoors, and doors and windows that stick. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance is recommended for solidifying a foundation?

• <div><p>Periodic inspections and addressing drainage issues prevent further damage.</p></div>

Q: How serious is foundation settling?

• <div><p>Foundation settling is normal and expected if just a small amount of settlement occurs within a year or so after construction. This usually results in hairline cracks in the foundation, which aren&rsquo;t typically a problem. If settlement occurs years after construction, unevenly under your home, or results in signs of structural damage, then it could be very serious. Foundation stabilization and drainage system installation to fix unnatural settlement can cost tens of thousands of dollars and compromise the structural integrity of your entire home.</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.
