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

• <div><p>It’s usually not an immediate safety risk to live in a house with foundation problems, but you don’t want to let those problems persist. Most foundation issues don’t lead to a house’s sudden collapse, but they can lead to health issues like mold growth and pest intrusion, as well as problems like uneven floors or rotten beams and joists, which can pose injury risks and be costly to fix.</p></div>

Is thicker concrete less likely to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you’re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage. </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: 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. Most foundation issues don&rsquo;t lead to a house&rsquo;s sudden collapse, but they can lead to health issues like mold growth and pest intrusion, as well as problems like uneven floors or rotten beams and joists, which can pose injury risks and be costly to fix.</p></div>

Q: What are common concrete issues requiring repair?

• <div><p>Cracks, spalling, uneven surfaces, and weather damage often necessitate professional repair or resurfacing.</p></div>

Q: When should you walk away from foundation problems?

• <div><p>Foundation problems are costly to repair, but if you already own the home, you can either handle the issues or allow the property to (literally) sink into disrepair. The opposite is true when buying a home. Walk away if the seller refuses to lower the asking price once foundation issues are exposed or if they refuse to handle the problems before the completion of the sale.</p></div>

Did a very professional job and were honest about the condition of the systems. I have old systems, and both needed to be checked and cleaned, but no repairs were needed (which I knew), and they didn't try to talk me into unneeded repair work.
