"Zack and Nick redid the foundation for us of our antique 1850s era barn. They had to raise the three story barn and demolish and remove the old foundation before doing the masonry in tight working conditions. They did a beautiful job, the block work is excellent and the barn was not damaged in any way. The work was done in a timely manner and their communication skills during the process were great. We would definitely hire them again!"

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

Whether or not repairing your foundation is worth it before selling depends on the extent of the damage, the cost of the foundation repair, and your timeline for relocating. If the damage is major or structural in nature, chances are you’ll sell at a higher price if you take care of the problem beforehand. You should consider the cost of the repair first, though, as laying out thousands might not be possible with your budget. Additionally, if you’re in a rush to relocate, you might want to repair before selling so as not to limit your buyer pool.

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.

“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.”

No, hairline cracks in concrete are generally not a problem as they do not impact the strength and longevity of the concrete. Generally, cracks less than 0.3 millimeter wide don’t impact the structure. Hairline cracks can grow over time and weaken the structure, such as in a home foundation. Some hairline cracks can also cause leaks in a foundation. It’s important to watch the cracks to see if they grow. Contact a concrete contractor if you notice cracks exceeding 0.3 millimeter wide.

Minor slab leaks normally take around three hours to access and fix, provided the leak is in an accessible location. However, a more extensive leak or a leak in a hard-to-reach location can take several days to fix, depending on the resulting damage. You might also want to consider the timeline for the build-back if the leak damages building materials like flooring or cabinets, which can take several weeks, including delivery of the materials.

Always hire a foundation repair contractor 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.
