How do you test for foundation problems?

• <div><p>You can use a level or straight-edge to test for plumb foundation walls and a level slab, a level or a ball to check for sloping floors inside your home, and a hygrometer to look for moisture in your underhome area. Aside from these DIY tests, it’s important to get a foundation repair specialist or structural engineer to test the foundation to see if it’s supporting your structure properly. They can determine if the loads on the concrete are uneven or need reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to repair a cinder block foundation?

• <div><p>The actual <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-foundation-repair-cost.htm">foundation repair costs</a> will depend on the extent of the damage, how many blocks you need, labor costs, and material costs. As an estimate, the average repair costs for a cinder block foundation fall between <b>$350 and $25,000</b>. Because the range is so large, it&rsquo;s important to call a professional foundation repair company and have them assess the damage and estimate the repair costs.</p></div>

Q: What causes problems with crawl space foundations?

• <div><p>Crawl space foundation problems can stem from a few different issues, but the most common are moisture and water problems and soil instability. Moisture and water issues are often a result of poor drainage, which can lead to water intrusion and soil expansion and contraction, leaving your foundation under added stress. A few things can cause soil instability, including poor drainage, karst landscapes and resulting sinkholes, and poorly compacted soil during construction.</p></div>

Q: What is the best foundation repair method?

• <div><p>The best foundation repair method will depend on the issue you&rsquo;re having, but usually, foundation instability is best fixed using supportive piers, like steel piers or helical piers. A professional foundation repair contractor or structural engineer should always decide what the best course of action is, and even then, it&rsquo;s imperative that you also take measures to treat the underlying issue as well, like soil erosion or oversaturation from runoff.</p></div>

Q: How much foundation settling is normal in a new house?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually not a big deal if your foundation sinks between 2 and 3 inches into the ground after construction, provided the settlement occurs evenly. This is usually indicative of normal settlement that occurs as the soil under your home adapts to the weight of the structure. If the home sinks more into the ground or the settlement occurs unevenly, leaving portions of your home to sink further down than others, then call a foundation repair specialist to address the issue and avoid additional damage. </p></div>
