Can foundation issues cause ceilings to collapse?

• <div><p>Yes, foundation problems can cause ceilings to collapse or even your whole house to crumble.

Q: Can you reduce your slab leak repair costs by fixing it yourself?

• <div><p>You could DIY the work, but unless you have plumber&rsquo;s knowledge for identifying and fixing a slab leak and specialized equipment in your tool shed, attempting to DIY your slab leak repair isn&rsquo;t a good idea. It&rsquo;s simply not something that the average homeowner can take on themselves, regardless of how many successful DIY projects they&rsquo;ve got under their belt. You could, however, do something simple like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stop-water-basement-floor.htm">foundation waterproofing</a> yourself to save some money on the post-repair work.</p></div>

Q: Are hairline cracks in concrete a problem?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s important to watch the cracks to see if they grow. Contact a concrete contractor if you notice cracks exceeding 0.3 millimeter wide.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a crack is structural?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren&rsquo;t uneven across the gap, and don&rsquo;t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don&rsquo;t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.</p></div>

Q: When does water damage a foundation?

• <div><p>Water damage to a foundation often starts as a slow leak or water vapor problem that worsens over the course of months or even years. The speed at which foundation leaks worsen depends on a few factors, including your climate and location, the soil composition around your home, the foundation drainage system you have in place, if any, and the type of foundation you have. Even if you have a minor issue that&rsquo;s slow to develop, it&rsquo;s best to have a professional address the issue immediately.</p></div>

Horrible, absolutely horrible. DO NOT use this company. Company charges $289 to come out and look at your hot tub with the claim that the $289 will be applied to the total repair cost. Once they finally came to my house in mid July to look at the tub, the tech identified the issue right where...

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.
