Will your foundation be able to support a second story?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>“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.”</p></div>

How else can I improve the look of my exposed foundation?

• <div><p>If your foundation is unfinished, has surface damage, or is just plain unappealing, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/foundation-refacing.htm">foundation refacing</a> can be another great way to increase your curb appeal and give your foundation a fresh look. Used in conjunction with foundation planting, refacing can completely change the look of your foundation and your home. </p></div>

Q: How do you strengthen a weak foundation?

• <div><p>You can strengthen a weak foundation using a few different foundation repair methods, including underpinning, slab jacking, foam jacking, installing carbon fiber support strips, or using a sealant or epoxy crack injection. It&rsquo;s worth noting that the best way to strengthen your foundation permanently is to fix the underlying issue first and then use a permanent solution to reinforce it. If you&rsquo;re unsure <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-do-i-hire-foundation-repair.htm">who to call for foundation repairs</a>, a foundation repair contractor or structural engineer can help find the best solution for your home.</p></div>

Q: When should I be worried about foundation settling?

• <div><p>Foundation settlement should be a concern if you notice it happening suddenly and years after construction, if the settlement results in signs of structural damage in your home, or if it happens after a flood, nearby sinkhole, or earthquake. Some signs of severe foundation settlement that should prompt you to call a repair specialist include sloping or uneven floors, large cracks in your foundation, moisture issues or pest infestation in your basement or crawl space, and an uneven roofline.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if a concrete crack is serious?

• <div><p>Although some concrete cracks are cosmetic, others can be more serious. Cracks wider than ⅛ inch or that extend through the slab are serious and can cause structural damage. If you notice these types of cracks in your concrete patio, contact a local contractor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-installs-concrete-patios.htm">who installs concrete patios</a> to inspect the damage and determine how to fix it. </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.
